Part 6/7:
Interestingly, palladium can also engage in proton capture, leading to the formation of silver isotopes. However, this process occurs with lower probabilities. If proton capture does happen, it can introduce additional beta emissions, thereby reinforcing the overall fusion reaction.
Conclusion: A Hypothetical Path Forward
The detailed exploration of cold fusion presented in this model outlines one hypothetical approach to achieving effective nuclear fusion at lower temperatures. By leveraging specific isotopes, beta emitters, and the unique conditions required to create a Rydberg state, this research holds potential for unlocking the mysteries of cold fusion.
