Abstract
Many elements on Pd electrode were confirmed by several analytic methods; reaction products with the mass number up to 208 are deposited on palladium cathodes, which were subjected to electrolysis in a heavy water solutionat high pressure, temperature, and current density for prolonged time. Thesemasses were composed of many elements ranged from hydrogen to lead.Extraordinary observations were the changes of their isotopic distributions inthe produced elements; these were radically different from the natural ones.For example, natural chromium is 4.3% Cr 50, 84% Cr 52, 9.5% Cr 53 and 2.4% Cr 54. But the Chromium found on the Pd surface was 14% Cr 50, 51% Cr 52, 2.4% Cr 53 and 11% Cr 54. Natural Isotopic distribution varies by less than0.003% for Cr. Essentially the same phenomenon was confirmed eight timeswith high reproducibility at high cathodic current density, above 0.2A /cm2.All the possibilities of contamination had been carefully eliminated by severalpretreatments for the sample and electrolysis system. It means that a nuclearreaction had taken place during the electrochemical treatment. It is indicating the role of new interactions discovered in the framework of a generalization of the usual quantum mechanics. Evidently such new interactions, due tothe mutual overlap of wavepackets, should explain the new phenomenologiesthat are experimentally observed in this study.
