Including nuclear degrees of freedom in a lattice Hamiltonian
@article{Hagelstein2012IncludingND, title={Including nuclear degrees of freedom in a lattice Hamiltonian}, author={Peter L. Hagelstein and Irfan Ullah Chaudhary}, journal={arXiv: General Physics}, year={2012} }
Motivated by many observations of anomalies in condensed matter systems, we consider a new fundamental Hamiltonian in which condensed matter and nuclear systems are described initially on the same footing. Since it may be possible that the lattice will respond to the mass change associated with a excited nuclear state, we adopt a relativistic description throughout based on a many-particle Dirac formalism. This approach has not been used in the past, perhaps due to the difficulty in separating…

We recently put forth a new fundamental lattice Hamiltonian based on an underlying picture of electrons and deuterons as elementary Dirac particles. Within this model there appears a term in which…
Quantum Composites: A Review, and New Results for Models for Condensed Matter Nuclear Science
- Physics

Since 2011, we introduced into LENR field, the use of a Constantan (Cnst) alloy to absorb/adsorb proper amounts of H2 or D2 and to generate thermal anomalies even at low temperatures (>200◦C). We…
Attempted Replication of Excess Heat in the Letts Dual-laser Experiment
- Physics

By attempting a nearly exact replication of prior published work, we test the claim that release of non-chemical excess heat from loaded palladium deuteride (PdD) can be triggered by the application…
Temperature Dependence of Excess Power in Two-laser Experiments
- Physics
- 2014
Data published previously on the two-laser experiment shows that the excess heat depends on temperature, and is mostly zero in the absence of a magnetic field. A new experiment shows higher excess…
