The cross sections and rates of nuclear fusion reactions at low beam energies are found to be significantly enhanced due to electron screening and other related effects. In Part A in Issue 166, the background on screening physics and experiments was provided. In this Part B, screening cross section results and their relationships to LENR are reviewed. The measured effects of screening in deuterium fusion experiments, motivated by the understanding of nuclear reactions and LENR, are summarized. Theoretical attempts to understand both screening potentials and LENR are reviewed. Significant progress on quantitative understanding of LENR based on screening and related factors has been achieved. Note on the Format of Part B: The order of letters for the sections, and the numbers for the figures and tables, are both continuations of Part A. Reference numbers for Part B restart with 1, so that it is not necessary to go to the reference numbers in Part A. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
