The fusion rates for the reactions pd, dd and pp in a solid-state enviroment are determined under the assumption that the fusion process is mediated by bound states of the reactant pair. An effective binding potential which accounts for lattice, electronic and pair interactions is envisaged to model plausible equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions. Our estimates for the upper-bound fusion rates in condensed matter lie well below the actual experimental limits.

Abstract
The fusion rates for the reactions pd, dd and pp in a solid-state enviroment are determined under the assumption that the fusion process is mediated by bound states of the reactant pair. An effective binding potential which accounts for lattice, electronic and pair interactions is envisaged to model plausible equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions. Our estimates for the upper-bound fusion rates in condensed matter lie well below the actual experimental limits.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
