The existing theory of the weak interaction has some troublesome issues with conservation of energy and limited range. Beta decay theory would be more complete if there were a mechanism that places the electron or positron decay product farther from the proton or neutron so that they would not be immediately reabsorbed. This is readily accomplished by a Hawking radiation type interaction between a virtual electron-positron pair and a proton or neutron and this type of interaction readily accounts for each form of beta decay.

The anomalous heat production detected in Ni-H systems was recently explained based on the fact that electromagnetic fields of extremely-low frequencies (ELF) can increase the intensities of gravitational forces and overcome the intensity of the electrostatic repulsion forces, producing nuclear fusion reactions. This effect can provide a consistent and coherent explanation for anomalous heat production detected in Ni-H Systems, and shows that a Ni-H System can be easily transformed into a Hydrogen bomb. Here, a Ni-H bomb of 20 kilotons is engineered.

Regarding neutron, numerous questions arise, e.g.: 1. A neutron happens to be unstable in its free state and becomes stable in stable nuclei and systems (e.g. deuterons and particles), but why and how? 2. What does happen or situation is created in stable nuclei/systems such that the neutrons become stable in them? 3. Why and how is that situation not being created in nuclei/systems having, e.g. two-neutrons, three-neutrons and one-proton etc.? 4. Why and how does neutron have unstable and stable, both the states, while the rest of all the elementary particles have only one state, either stable or unstable? 5. Why and how does neutron survive for time t = 885.7 seconds (mean life time of neutron) and then decays, while the rest of all the unstable elementary particles decay within fraction of a second? But the standard quark model and the other neutron models fail to give explanation of the above questions. Therefore, presently a new model for neutron structure has been proposed that gives clear and complete explanation of all the above questions along with very clear and complete explanation of the following numerous greatly important phenomena/events: 1. Why and how beta particles, which are electrons, are emitted from the nuclei during beta decay while it is believed that the electrons do not reside inside the nuclei; 2. Why and how energy of the emitted beta particles varies in the form of a continuous energy spectrum; 3. Why and how the neutrons have high penetrating power and distinguishable low and high-energy ranges; 4. How one-neutron and one-proton are arranged in a deuteron such that a binding force is generated between them which persists and consequently deuteron exists in nature; 5. Why and how di-proton and di-neutron do not exist in nature; 6. Why and how binding energy per nucleon (Eb) of tritium and helium-3 are increased to > 2 Eb of deuteron, and Eb of tritium > Eb of helium-3; 7. Why and how tritium is radioactive, decaying into helium-3 through beta decay; 8. How two-neutrons and two-protons are arranged in an alpha particle such that it persists and behaves like a particle and beams of alpha particles are obtained despite having repulsive Coulomb force between them; 9. Why and how Eb of alpha particle is increased to > 6 Eb of deuteron, instead of increasing to 2 Eb of deuteron; 10. How are nucleons arranged in nuclei having mass number (A) integer multiple of 4 such that the nuclei are most strongly stable; 11. Why and how Eb of beryllium-8 < Eb of helium-4, while Eb of nuclei increases as their A increases; 12. Why and how other nuclei are not strongly stable; 13. Why and how near A = 62, Eb is maximum and then it gradually decreases as A increases and ultimately for A > 200, the nuclei become radioactive and alpha, beta, gamma, neutrino are emitted from them; 14. How gamma and neutrino obtain particle like physical existence and so high energy and penetrating power. These explanations give almost a complete understanding of neutron, deuteron, alpha particle and nuclei (structure, stability and decay). Finally: 1. An important conclusion has been drawn that the strength of stability of a nucleus does not depend only upon its Eb but also upon the strength of stability of its neutrons because the later one too varies; 2. The existence of antineutrino has been question marked.

Anomalous heat production has been detected in Ni-H Systems. Several evidences point to the occurrence of nuclear fusion reactions. A possible explanation for this phenomenon is shown here based on the recent discovery that electromagnetic fields of extremely-low frequencies (ELF) can increase the intensities of gravitational forces. Under certain circumstances, the intensities of gravitational forces can even overcome the intensity of the electrostatic repulsion forces, and, in this way, produce nuclear fusion reactions, without need high temperatures for these reactions occur.

Two of the great mysteries of physics are the origin of mass and the mysterious mass ratio between the proton and electron of ~1836. In this paper it is shown that the mass-energy of the proton is equivalent to the vacuum energy excluded by a spherical Casimir cavity with an average radius equal to the charge radius of a proton. Likewise the electron mass is shown to be equivalent to the vacuum energy excluded by a spherical shell with an average diameter equal to the Compton wavelength of the electron. The ratio ~1836 is derived as a natural consequence of the vacuum energy exclusion.

A model is proposed for the photon as a material particle having zero mass. It is based on the supposition that antimatter has negative gravitational mass and that mass is an additive quantum value. Considerations of special relativity lead to a model for the photon as a compound bipolar system comprising a particle and its antiparticle equivalent.
Consideration is given to the dynamics of such a system. The forces are found to be in balance provided that certain velocity terms are taken to be affected by relativity, leading to a system which is stable and one in which the photon can exist in a vacuum without recourse to an ether or ether like substance. The photon is found to have a finite bandwidth and a velocity profile which varies with frequency.

The wisest of the Ancient Greek philosophers realised that ultimately the universe could only be composed of identical indivisible spheres; and Squish Theory extends this idea with the concept of compressible spacebubbles. In a universe composed only of spacebubbles, all mass/energy must be a compression of the spacebubbles, so particles can only be made of squashed spacebubbles which are spinning either clockwise or anticlockwise. It therefore follows that in physics terms, particles can only be composed of collections of positive and negative charges, as in positrons and electrons.
The reasoning behind this conclusion is largely philosophical and cosmological, but is not discussed in this paper. Rather what the paper does is examine the difference in mass between particles of similar size, in order to show that the theory is consistent with existing data; and to determine the binding energies of charges inside particles, and on the surface of particles. It then shows that the values deduced are consistent with the idea that a neutron is a proton with 3 extra charges on its surface; and also that the binding energies of simple atomic nuclei can be predicted on the basis of the interactions between charges on the surface of nucleons. Of course there is not sufficient accurate data on particle masses, to show conclusively that they must be collections of charges; if there had have been, then clearly somebody would have already noticed the pattern; however the pattern is certainly strong enough to warrant further testing.
The major problem for this theory, is that the standard model has taken root, and in these highly religiosised times, physicists have a religious duty to condemn all new ideas as crackpot. However we do not even need to scratch the surface of the standard model to see that it is untenable, as a universe composed of so many ‘elementary’ particles would not merely have required a separate creator, but one of severely impaired intellect, a hypothesis nobody has ever suggested. On top of this, of the major actors in the drama, the dozens of quarks and anti-quarks, none have actually been directly measured for either mass or charge; and even those ‘elementary’ particles which do actually exist, such as muons, are clearly composed of something else otherwise they would not spontaneous disintegrate. In Squish Theory there is no such problem, as all particles are merely composed of pairs of charges, which can unravel in the same way as electron/positron pairs; so the only unbreakable particles must be electrons and positrons, which can only unravel if they meet their Nemesis.

In this paper was re-visited the dual Ginzburg-Landau model for the calculation of Lorenz force, monopoles current, and the energy of vortex lines for a vortex triangular lattice type Abrikosov within a nucleon, to find their meaning. For now, it was found that these energies would correspond to the subatomic particles,W,Z,H bosons, pion , and of nucleon itself. Also, it was determined the fusion temperature of two nucleons.
The model permits to explain the beta decay mechanism of radioisotopes to be the same as the dark counts in the case of superconductors.
A link with gravity as a force that counteracts the destruction of superconductivity, is discussed. In this model to a superconductor analogue, we do not use an a-priori Higgs field, and hence a Higgs boson. The entire work is done in natural units.

A case is made for the fusion reactions apparently occurring in the original Fleischmann and Pons (F-P) experiments to be the result of free D+ ions formed at the anode during electrolysis colliding with deuterons trapped in the Pd lattice of the cathode, rather than trapped deuterons being squeezed together by the lattice. The data from the experiments show that the energy output of F-P cells was essentially proportional to the energy input, independent of the cathode size or the current strength, which implies that the cathode plays a passive role in the energy production. The number of D+ ions produced at the anode and their velocities are proportional to the current used in the cell, so that the number of D+ ions that survive the trip across the gap between the anode and the cathode is greater for greater currents. The larger numbers of D+ ions from the higher currents result in more collisions with trapped deuterons in the cathode producing more energy.

In DT fusion 80% of the energy released goes into 14MeV neutrons, and only the remaining 20% into charged particles. Unlike the charged particles, the uncharged neutrons cannot be confined by a magnetic field, and for this reason cannot be used for a direct conversion into electric energy. Instead, the neutrons have to be slowed down in some medium, heating this medium to a temperature of less than 103K, with the heat removed fom this medium to drive a turbo-generator. This conversion of nuclear into electric energy has a Carnot efficiency of about 30%. For the 80% of the energy released into neutrons, the efficiency is therefore no more than 24%. While this low conversion efficiency cannot be overcome in magnetic confinement concepts, it can be overcome in inertial confinement concepts, by surrounding the inertial confinement fusion target with a sufficiently thick layer of liquid hydrogen and a thin outer layer of boron, to create a hot plasma fire ball. The hydrogen layer must be chosen just thick and dense enough to be heated by the neutrons to 100,000K. The thusly generated, fully ionized, and rapidly expanding fire ball can drive a pulsed magnetohydrodynamic generator at an almost 100% Carnot efficiency, or possibly be used to generate hydrocarbons.

It is shown that the idea of a photon rocket through the complete annihilation of matter with antimatter, first proposed by Sänger, is not a utopian scheme as it is widely believed. Its feasibility appears to be possible by the radiative collapse of a relativistic high current pinch discharge in a hydrogen-antihydrogen ambiplasma down to a radius determined by Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Through this collapse to ultrahigh densities the proton-antiproton pairs in the center of the pinch can become the upper GeV laser level for the transition into a coherent gamma ray beam by proton-antiproton annihilation, with the magnetic field of the collapsed pinch discharge absorbing the recoil momentum of the beam and transmitting it to the spacecraft. The gamma ray laser beam is launched as a photon avalanche from one end of the pinch discharge channel.

There is a straightforward and cost-effective way to generate energy from fusion. The enabling technology has existed for at least a decade: it is an indictment of the way science currently progresses that it has been overlooked.
The basic method is familiar: a hollow fuel capsule implodes within a hohlraum. However the hohlraum is heated not by lasers, but by the impact of charged micropellets fired at ultravelocity from a modified particle accelerator. This technique has long been used to test spacecraft micrometeoroid shields, and has been suggested for fusion. The key novel step is that it is now possible to track and guide each pellet individually during flight, using COTS-available technology. This opens up options never before considered:
- The pellets catch up together over a long flightpath, so peak power level can be multiplied a millionfold. A train of pellets launched over a period of milliseconds arrives at the hohlraum within a span of nanoseconds: an accelerator of modest power can provide a larger peak input than is possible with lasers.
- The pellets are progressively discharged as they travel, so mutual repulsion at convergence is eliminated.
- The pellets impact the hohlraum in a precisely specified pattern, whose variation with time is also tailored to cause optimal fuel capsule implosion.
The method is ideally suited to standoff operation. Detonation can take place within a disposable projectile, within a lithium waterfall which extracts the energy while breeding replacement tritium. There is no need for a large vacuum chamber.
The only net fuel input is deuterium. Capital cost is modest. Equipment life is indefinite. It will be possible to retrofit existing coal-fired generating plant for fusion.
Overall length of the accelerator and standoff pipe is substantial, several kilometres. However even if the whole length has to be placed in a tunnel, its cost is small compared to that of a power station.

Advances in the field of cold fusion and the recent success of the nickel and hydrogen exothermal reaction, in which the energy release cannot be explained by a chemical process, need a deeper understanding of the nuclear reactions and, more particularly, the possibility for modification of the Coulomb barrier. The current theoretical understanding based on high temperature fusion does not offer an explanation for the cold fusion or LENR. The treatise "Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory", based on an alternative concept of the physical vacuum, provides an explanation from a new point of view by using derived three-dimensional structures of the atomic nuclei. For explanation of the nuclear energy, a hypothesis of a field micro-curvature around the superdense nucleus is suggested. Analysis of some successful cold fusion experiments resulted in practical considerations for modification of the Coulomb barrier. The analysis also predicts the possibility of another cold fusion reaction based on some similarity between the nuclear structures of Ni and Cr.

Why is the neutron stable in the nucleus? Why is the free neutron unstable outside the atom? This paper applies the cordus conjecture to address these questions. The proposed explanation is that in the nucleus the discrete field structures (cordus HED) of the proton and neutron fulfil each other, thereby providing a joint stability. When the neutron is removed from the nucleus, its stability becomes compromised. By comparison the single proton on its own does not need the neutron, so it remains stable. The free neutron is able to maintain a dynamic stability by moving its field structures around. It can do this indefinitely. However it is in a compromised state, and vulnerable to perturbation by external fields. Two initiators are anticipated for decay. One is randomly occurring field fluctuations from the external fabric, and these are proposed for the conventional decay route. The second is impact by another particule. In both cases it is the external fields that cause the decay, by constraining the neutron so that it cannot dynamically adjust. Hence it is trapped in a state that leads to decay at its next frequency cycle. The second path could involve any particule with sufficient energy to disturb the neutron. Also, the impact of a neutrino is specifically identified as a potential initiator of decay. The implications if this is correct, are that the neutron has two separate decay paths, which are mixed together in what we perceive as the beta minus process. The first is determined by the local density of the (spacetime) fabric, and the second by the number of energetic particules and neutrinos encountered. The significance of the two decay paths is that neutron decay rates are predicted to be variable rather than constant. A general set of assumptions are extracted for stability and decay of particules in general.

Three reasons are given to dispute the claims of numerous experimenters that higher-than-expected
heat and radiation are obtained from nuclear fusion of deuterium atoms at room temperature: 1) the
inability of two low-energy protons or deuterons to penetrate the mutual Coulomb barrier; 2) the
production of heat in excess of that possible for the measured particulate radiation, and 3) the
high levels of 4He measured (much beyond that permitted by present nuclear physics models). The
first has been addressed earlier. This paper discusses the second and how it leads to an
understanding of a critical mechanism behind low-energy nuclear reactions.

The existence of the universe is an enigma because the energy at genesis should have created
equal amounts of matter and antimatter, which should have subsequently annihilated. What happened
in the baryogenesis process to cause matter to predominate in the cosmos? A candidate conceptual
solution is presented based on the cordus conjecture, and featuring the antineutrino in a
prominent role. A detailed model is produced for the production of an electron-antielectron
pair from photons. The novel contribution is showing how the discrete field structures of the
photon dynamically transform into those of the two massy particules. A new production process
is detailed whereby an energetic antielectron is remanufactured into a proton and two antineutrinos.
The production process could equally have converted electrons to antiprotons, and a tentative
explanation is given for why this might not have happened. Therefore it is suggested that the
apparent asymmetry of baryogenesis is because the antimatter is hiding in plain sight, having
been remanufactured into the matter baryons themselves. In this model four photons are transformed
into an electron and proton, i.e. a hydrogen atom, and two antineutrinos. The antimatter field
structure of the antielectron is carried away by the antineutrinos as a waste stream. This
paper therefore provides an alternative conceptual solution to the baryogenesis asymmetry in
the universe, and it also explains the leptogenesis asymmetry. As a corollary, the conditions
are identified under which the proton may decay.

The Standard Model interprets the weak interaction, e.g. neutron beta decay, to be a short-range field
carried by the W and Z bosons. In that interpretation the short range arises because of the heavy mass
of the W and Z bosons. This paper reconceptualises the weak interaction and the bosons. The cordus HED
notation was used to work out the field structures of the bosons,
giving W-(r.1.1 .a.11.1 .t11)
and W+( r1.1. .a1 .t). The theory suggests that there is no single Z
boson, but several varieties. Cordus suggests that the W and Z bosons do not exist in the form of 0D
point particles with static characteristics, but instead are complex structures undergoing dynamic
assembly and disassembly processes. The conventional concept that the bosons change the flavour of
the quark is questioned. Instead the model shows that the bosons not the cause or the mechanism for
the change, but merely the by-products and waste process stream from the conversion process. The
neutrino-antineutrino annihilation process is modelled and predicted to result in either an
electron-positron pair and two photons, or four photons.

The neutrino is involved in many of the unsolved areas of fundamental physics and cosmology, and therefore
a better understanding of the causes of its behaviour is useful. This paper develops a conceptual theory
for the internal structure of the neutrino, particularly the arrangement of its discrete field structures.
The model is created using the concept of the cordus hyff emission directions (HEDs). Using the known quark
composition of the neutron and proton, and the existing cordus models for their discrete field structures,
and using the beta decay processes, we determine the discrete field structure of the neutrino by a
reverse-engineering process. The structure of the neutrino in HED notation is found to be v(r11 .a .t11)
or variants thereof, and the antineutrino to be v(r11 .a .t11) etc.
The results are consistent whether
using beta - decay, beta +, or electron capture. The results suggest that the neutrino is not its own
antiparticle. Consequently neutrinoless double beta decay is predicted to be infeasible. The model predicts
the neutrino has zero nominal mass, though a dynamic noise-mass is expected. The reasons why the neutrino
moves at the speed of light are explained, and involve the engagement of its field structures, which are
incomplete, with the fabric (spacetime). The gravitational bending of its trajectory is explained, even
for a massless neutrino. This explanation requires the abandonment of both locality and the invariance of
the vacuum-speed of light. The model also explains why neutrinos are always found with left-spin-hand,
and antineutrinos with right, and suggests that the opposite structures are fundamentally unavailable.
By moving away from the 0D point assumption of orthodox physics, cordus is able to generate a novel and
radical model of the neutrino, and ground its behaviour in physically realistic interpretations.

We introduce a new system-modelling representation for the interaction of
particules with internal structures (hidden variable solutions). This is an
improvement on Feynman diagrams that only represent points and limited
information about state. The notation is able to represent key variables
describing the internal states, such as phase and the three dimensional
discrete field structures. The latter include the cordus hyff emission
directions (HEDs). With this method it is possible to model the different
stages in an interaction processes. It is applied to the cordus annihilation
mechanics, and the resulting models qualitatively distinguish between the
parapositronium and orthopositronium annihilation phenomena.

The outcomes of annihilation are known, including some of the intermediary products,
and the process can be represented by Feynman diagrams and modelled mathematically. However the
mechanisms of annihilation at a deeper fundamental level are unknown. How exactly does matter
and antimatter convert into photons? How does mass change into energy? This paper develops an
answer by providing a theory for the annihilation process based on mechanics derived from the
cordus conjecture. The particular area under examination is the annihilation of an electron and
antielectron (positron) to gamma photons. In this model matter and antimatter annihilate by
transforming their field structures - called hyff - into those of the photon. The process is more
one of remanufacture than destruction. The model proposes the stages of annihilation and identifies
the mechanisms for each. The reverse of the process gives a physical description of leptogenesis:
the creation of separate electron and antielectron particules out of two initial photons. It
also explains why the proton and electron do not annihilate. We show that a deeper common
mechanism exists for annihilation, leptogenesis, and bonding.

We develop a conceptual model for the internal structures of the photon and electron, based on
the cordus model. The main differentiating feature between the photon and electron is identified as the way
it deals with its field structures or hyff. The photon has a fibrillating relationship with its field,
whereas the electron is a pulsating field-pump. The resulting model permits an explanation of the discrete
(approximately quantised) electrostatic force, the propulsion mechanism for the speed of light, and the
gravitational bending of light. These are side-effects and the larger advantage of this model is the
potential to explain photon-electron interactions generally.

Existing theories of physics struggle to explain the difference between
matter and antimatter in ways that make physical sense. This paper offers
a reconceptualisation based on the cordus conjecture. We create a new
concept of handedness, called ma, and an operational definition based on
the energisation sequence of the cordus reactive-ends. Each reactive end
for a stable matter particuloid, e.g. the electron, has three orthogonal
hyff. The hand of these is held to be the same for all matter particuloids,
whether positive or negative charge. For all antimatter particuloids the
hand is inverted. The inversion also changes the direction of the hyff, and
thus reverses the charge, but this is a secondary effect. This cordus concept
permits models to be created differentiating between the electron, proton,
and antielectron (positron). This explains why the antielectron is very
different to the proton despite the same charge, and why the photon does
not have an antiparticle. It also allows the wider integration of bonding
and annihilation as manifestations of a single deeper mechanics.

The Strong Force is unique in that it changes from repulsive to attractive as the distance between
two quarks increases, and rapidly approaches a steady level thereafter. Unlike the inverse square
law related to the surface area of a sphere, there is as yet no simple physical explanation for this
phenomenon. It is demonstrated that the inductive forces between three magnetic dipoles
symmetrically arrayed and tilted around a circle, will result in a repulsive force acting radially on
any one one of them at close proximity, that changes to an attractive force with increase of
distance. The forces are most like the Strong Force when the tilt is at around 13o, remarkably
similar to the Cabibbo Angle1 relating the Strong and Weak reactions. These results encourage
development of Tamari's Beautiful Universe2 (BU) model of a universal lattice entirely made up of
magnetic dipoles.

In DT fusion 80% of the energy is released in 14 MeV neutrons. To utilize this energy the
neutrons must in all proposed DT fusion concepts (including the ITER) be slowed down in a
medium, heating the medium up to a temperature not exceeding a few thousand degrees, from
which this energy is converted into mechanical energy, and ultimately into electric energy.
While the conversion from mechanical into electric energy goes at a high efficiency (90%),
the conversion of the thermal energy into mechanical energy is limited by the Carnot process
to about 30%. To overcome this limitation, I propose to slow down the neutrons in the
combustion products of a convergent spherical detonation wave in HMX, for example, which
ignites a magnetized DT target which is placed in the center of convergence, prior to the
ignition of the high explosive from its surface. The thermonuclear ignition is achieved by
the high implosion velocity of 50km/sec reached in the center, compressing and igniting the
preheated magnetized target. Even though the thermonuclear gain of a magnetized target is
modest, it can become large if it is used to ignite unburnt DT by propagating burn. There
the gain can conceivably be made 1000 times larger, substantially exceeding the yield of the
high explosive. And if the spherical high explosive has a radius of about 30cm, the 14 MeV
DT fusion reaction neutrons are slowed down in its dense combustion products, raising the
temperature in it to 100000 K. At this temperature the kinetic energy of the expanding fire
ball can be converted at a high (almost 100%) efficiency directly into electric energy by an
MHD Faraday generator. In this way most of the 80% neutron energy can be converted into
electric energy, about three times more than in magnetic (ITER) or inertial (ICF) DT fusion
concepts.

There were many claims and counter claims in regard to the cold fusion in the history of science. For a long period of time, it has been thought that the solution for the energy needs of the future is in achieving the cold fusion by simply using the hydrogen gas at room temperature. We get very limited amount of energy in the combustion of the hydrogen gas, whereas if we use the same amount of hydrogen in an apparent cold fusion, we are supposed to get abundant amount of energy sufficient enough to power the energy needs of the world for billions of years into the future. Until now, all the attempts at achieving the cold fusion were consuming more energy than the energy released. Why we weren't
able to achieve the cold fusion for all these years if it is really a possibility? That is because of our premises in understanding the fusion such as the definition of mass and the binding energy were not correct. It will never be possible to get more energy out of hydrogen gas at room temperature in an apparent cold fusion reaction.

According to the Brightsen Nucleon Cluster Model [1] all nuclides of beta stable isotopes can be
described by three fundamental nucleon clusters {NPN,PNP,NP), with halo clusters
(NN,PP,NNN) now experimentally observed. The Brightsen model builds on the early cluster
models of the Resonating Group Structure of John Wheeler [2] and the Linus Pauling
Close-Packed Spheron Model [3], which predict mathematically that the wave function of a composite
nucleus can be viewed quantum mechanically as a combination of partial wave functions that
correspond to the multiple ways nucleons (protons, neutrons) can be distributed into closepacked
clusters, thus rejecting the standard model Hartree-Fock formalism of average field
interactions between independent nucleons in nuclear shells. Presented in this section are a
number of unsolved problems, questions, and future experimental pathways based on the
Brightsen Nucleon Cluster Model formalism--many additional applications can be gleamed from

Applying the R. A. Brightsen Nucleon Cluster Model of the atomic nucleus we discuss
how unmatter entities (the conjugations of matter and antimatter) may be formed as
clusters inside a nucleus. The model supports a hypothesis that antimatter nucleon
clusters are present as a parton (sensu Feynman) superposition within the spatial
confinement of the proton (1H1), the neutron,
and the deuteron (1H2). If model
predictions can be confirmed both mathematically and experimentally, a new physics
is suggested. A proposed experiment is connected to othopositronium annihilation
anomalies, which, being related to one of known unmatter entity, orthopositronium
(built on electron and positron), opens a way to expand the Standard Model.

The hypothesis of Fischbach and Jenkins that neutrinos emitted from the
sun accelerate radioactive decay is noted. It is thought that neutrinos accelerate
beta decay by reacting with neutron-rich nuclides to form a beta particle and a
daughter product, with no antineutrino emitted. Conversely, it is proposed that
antineutrinos can react with proton-rich nuclides to cause positron decay, with no
neutrino emitted. It is also proposed that the nuclear fusion of the hydrogen bomb
is triggered not only by the energy of the igniting fission bomb, but by the
antineutrinos created by the rapid beta decay of the daughter products in the
fission process. The contemplated mechanism for this chain reaction fusion
process is the following: (1) The antineutrinos from the fission daughter products
cause positron decay of deuterium by the process outlined above. (2) In a later
fusion step, these positrons subsequently react with neutrons in deuterium to
create antineutrinos. Electrons are unavailable to annihilate positrons in the
plasma of the hydrogen bomb. (3) These antineutrinos thereafter react with more
deuterium to form positrons, thereby propagating the chain.

The exact origin of the strong force (holding compound atomic nuclei together) is not yet a
completely settled matter. Some authors (Robert Oerter) attribute this force to the exchange of
virtual mesons between protons and neutrons (as in the original theory of Yukawa), while others
(Frank Close) claim this old model has been superseded by the modern theory of quantum
chromodynamics (QCD), and attribute the binding of nucleons to a magnetic analog of the color
charge, originating in the exchange of gluons between quarks. My own view is that the original
Yukawa model is correct, but the reader will have to make his own choice, and realize that not
all experts would agree with me.

It seems that for some applications we require to decrease the drifting velocity
of atomic or molecular beams, and seemingly various methods have been
designed to achieve this purpose. I propose to select a relatively big coreless
solenoid through which we can give an intense direct (probably impulsive) electric
current. Set the whole instrument which is to create the beam in the space
interior to the solenoid, and create the beam parallel to the solenoid. There
is no magnetic field gradient inside a current-carrying solenoid. So, the drift
velocity of the beam is not changed inside the solenoid, but when it is leaving
the solenoid its drift velocity decreases. (If we use this method conversely we
can increase the drift velocity of the beam.)

and then this way can not be a valid manner for obtaining this relation.

Relying on this fact that not only role of the medium (intermediate
gas) cannot be ignored in the electric discharge between cathode and
anode, but also it is very important, the diffraction and interference phenomena
which an electron beam can reveal are justified. This act is done
after analyzing the manner in which stroke propagates via the gas valence
electrons. In this respect an experiment is proposed as a test. We
conclude that the cathodic ray does not carry charge, ie is not a ray of
electrons being shot but is a longitudinal wave arising from the vibration
of the valence electrons of the molecules of the carrying-wave medium. In
this way the mechanism of production of and the difference between the
longitudinal and transverse waves and that our longitudinal wave is only
due to compression (not expansion) impacts are explained.
Our ability for complete deflecting and making away the electron beam
(behind the anode), existence of sharp shadow of anode in the electric discharge
tube, existence of dark-bright striated columns in this tube (similar
to Kundt tube in acoustics), and the action mechanism of image intensifying
in the image intensifier tubes are all described as witnesses to confirm
the wave-like motion for electron beam proposed in this paper and reject
the shooting motion for it.
Deflection of the trajectory of electron beams in electric and magnetic
fields is justified in wave-like motion of "going" and "backing" for evaluation
of which an experiment has been proposed. It is shown that how
for transferring of momentum there is no necessity to suppose shooting
motion for electron in the cathodic ray.
Two separate parallel cathodic rays repel each other. This will be
contrary to what the electromagnetism predicts if a cathodic ray is to
carry charge. This phenomenon is justified by the model presented here.

A model is proposed for the photon as a material particle having zero mass. It is based on the supposition that antimatter has negative gravitational mass and that mass is an additive quantum value. Considerations of special relativity lead to a model for the photon as a
compound bipolar system comprising a particle and its antiparticle equivalent.
Consideration is given to the dynamics of such a system. The forces are found to be in balance provided that certain velocity terms are taken to be affected by relativity, leading to a system which is stable and one in which the photon can exist in a vacuum without recourse to an ether or ether like substance. The photon is found to have a finite bandwidth and a velocity profile which varies with frequency.

In this paper was re-visited the dual Ginzburg-Landau model for the calculation of Lorenz force, monopoles current, and the energy of vortex lines for a vortex triangular lattice type Abrikosov within a nucleon, to find their meaning. For now, it was found that these energies would correspond to the subatomic particles, , bosons, pion , and of nucleon itself. Also, it was determined the fusion temperature of two nucleons.
The model permits to explain the beta decay mechanism of radioisotopes to be the same as the dark counts in the case of superconductors.
A link with gravity as a force that counteracts the destruction of superconductivity, is discussed. In this model to a superconductor analogue, we do not use an a-priori Higgs field, and hence a Higgs boson. The entire work is done in natural units.

There is a practical way to generate energy from fusion. The basic method is well known: a hollow fuel capsule implodes within a hohlraum. However the hohlraum is heated not by lasers, but by the impact of charged micropellets fired at ultravelocity. This technique has long been used to test spacecraft micrometeoroid shields, and has been suggested for fusion. The key novel step is that it is now possible to track and guide each pellet individually during flight, using COTS-available technology. This opens up options never before considered:
- The pellets catch up together during flight through a long vacuum pipe, so an accelerator of modest power can provide a very high peak input pulse. A train of pellets launched over a period of milliseconds arrives at the hohlraum within a span of nanoseconds: a ‘temporal compression’ factor of one million.
- Successively smaller course corrections fine-tune the pellet trajectories to ever-increasing precision. The pellets are progressively discharged as they travel, so mutual repulsion at convergence is eliminated. The pellets impact the hohlraum in a precisely specified pattern.
The method is ideally suited to standoff operation. Detonation can take place completely surrounded by flowing lithium, which extracts the energy while also breeding tritium to close the fuel cycle. There is no need for a large vacuum chamber, and no unwanted radioactives are produced.
The only net input is deuterium and lithium. Capital cost is modest. Equipment life is indefinite. It will be possible to retrofit existing coal-fired generating plant for fusion.
Overall length of the accelerator and standoff pipe is substantial, several kilometres. However even if the whole length has to be placed in a tunnel, its cost is small compared to that of a power station. The pellets travel at only a few hundred km/sec: the accelerator is driven at RF frequency, by inexpensive solid state switches.

Advances in the field of cold fusion and the recent success of the nickel and hydrogen exothermal reaction, in which the energy release cannot be explained by a chemical process, need a deeper understanding of the nuclear reactions and, more particularly, the possibility for modification of the Coulomb barrier. The current theoretical understanding based on high temperature fusion does not offer an explanation for the cold fusion or LENR. The treatise "Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory", based on an alternative concept of the physical vacuum, provides an explanation from a new point of view by using derived three-dimensional structures of the atomic nuclei. For explanation of the nuclear energy, a hypothesis of a field micro-curvature around the superdense nucleus is suggested. Analysis of some successful cold fusion experiments resulted in practical considerations for modification of the Coulomb barrier. The analysis also predicts the possibility of another cold fusion reaction based on some similarity between the nuclear structures of Ni and Cr.

nickel in Rossi's reactor be transmuted into copper? "Everything should be made as simple as
possible, but not simpler", says a guy. I apologizes if I am too simplistic here.

A tabletop prototype of a new kind of nuclear reactor was demonstrated recently at the
University of Bologna. This note addresses conceptual difficulties associated with the
reported features of the device.

The exact origin of the strong force (holding compound atomic nuclei together) is not yet a
completely settled matter. Some authors (Robert Oerter) attribute this force to the exchange of
virtual mesons between protons and neutrons (as in the original theory of Yukawa), while
others (Frank Close) claim this old model has been superseded by the modern theory of
quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and attribute the binding of nucleons to a magnetic analog
of the color charge, originating in the exchange of gluons between quarks. My own view is that
the original Yukawa model is correct, but the reader will have to make his own choice, and
realize that not all experts would agree with me (or each other).
My reasons for preferring the original Yukawa model are several:
1) Yukawa's mathematics work, correctly predicting the mass of the exchanged mesons. If we
deny the validity of this model, what are we to do with this mathematical structure and these
mesons? Neither will go away just to please a new model.
2) If the color-magnetism theory is correct, then all proton-neutron combinations should be
equivalent, whereas we know that some are favored - the alpha particle, for example - and all
combinations of even numbers of nucleons. There are also "magic numbers" of nucleons,
combinations of special stability among the heavier nuclei. Finally, why do we not find isolated
neutron-neutron pairings? The pion exchange model answers all these questions.
3) Because mesons carry both flavor and color charges, it is also possible that both effects are at
work simultaneously. Mesons carry color-anticolor charges (always of the same color), so they
can neatly substitute themselves for the color charge of a baryon's quark. Because they also
carry flavor/anti-flavor charges (in this case not necessarily of the same flavor: d and anti- u, for
example), they can just as neatly change a baryon's "u" quark into a "d" quark (and hence a
proton into a neutron), or vice versa. A "magnetic" color effect, however, could not by itself
change a quark's flavor. The exchange of mesons allows the neutron to satisfy its natural
tendency to undergo beta decay via a virtual reaction rather than an actual decay.
4) The magnetic analog of the color charge is expressed as "asymptotic freedom" - the
increasing freedom of movement of the quarks as they approach each other at the center of the
baryon. Hence this is an inwardly directed "magnetic" effect, typical of the strong force, not a
likely source for binding energy outside the confines of the baryon. The symmetry-keeping role
of the color charge is to permanently confine the fractional charges of the quarks to whole
quantum charge units. While "asymptotic freedom" is completely understandable within this
conservation context as a "local gauge symmetry" effect, the external binding of other baryons
is not. (See: Frank Close: The New Cosmic Onion" Taylor and Francis 2007); (See: Robert
Oerter: The Theory of Almost Everything. Penguin (Plume) 2006); (See: Gross, Politzer,
Wilczek: Science: 15 October 2004 vol. 306 page 400: "Laurels to Three Who Tamed
Equations of Quark Theory.")
