| Abstract: | We report the discovery of the new phenomenon of energetic alpha emission (up to 16.0 MeV), and proton emission (~1.7 MeV), from a metal surface possessing a large affinity for hydrogen and loaded/excited by electrolysis, glow discharge or powerful laser. Various experiments on charged particle emission show a remarkable feature: all exhibit a similar yield per unit input energy of energetic alphas [one alpha particle per 10–15 eV input energy/Pd(Ti) target atom], independent of the excitation power of delivering method (electrolysis, glow discharge or laser irradiation). The results suggest that the mechanism of energy transfer resulting in energetic particle emission in metal targets loaded with hydrogen is similar, despite the seemingly dissimilar excitation techniques. | |
