Abstract

In a calculation of demonstrative type collective, laser-like behavior of low energy nuclear fusion reaction of deuterons in crystalline environment is investigated. It is found that the reported extra 4He production can be appropriately described with a model well known in quantum electronics in which the quantized boson (4He) field interacts with an ensemble of two-level systems in a crystal resonator. The estimated life times of the two levels indicate that population inversion may be achieved. Thresholds of the deuteron number of the sample and of the electric current density of the pumping electrolysis are estimated in the calculation by analyzing the gain parameter and some other characteristics of the process. An explanation for the experimentally observed threshold behavior of the electric current density is given. A loss of a special type, that is the degenerate parametric amplifier mechanism, is suggested to be responsible for the difference between the expected and observed energies of the outgoing charged particles.
