Popis: It was previously shown that in the process of plasma water electrolysis, a synthesis of chemical elements is observed indicating the existence of low-energy nuclear fusion reactions. In the traditional consideration, for guaranteed fusion of nuclei, their approach to a distance of the order of the nucleus size Rn ~10−15 m is required. An additional possibility is to use electromagnetic interaction to achieve an intermediate quasimolecular state with a critical internuclear distance of Rc~10−13 m, which is smaller than Bohr radius RB ≈ 5 ∙10−11 m, but larger Rn. When Rc is reached, the process of attraction of the nuclei becomes possible due to the exchange of virtual electron-positron pairs, the efficiency of which increases with the approach of the nuclei. Since in the framework of the hadronic mechanics of Santilli, the π0-meson is interpreted as a result of the contact interaction of an electron and a positron, the stage of approach of the nuclei from Rс to Rn due to the exchange of quasipositroniums can be considered as an extension of the action of the Yukawa mechanism on scales up to Rс. Thus, the approach of nuclei to Rc plays a key role in the implementation of nuclear fusion. A similar approach is possible if a high electron density arises between the nuclei in the process of inelastic collision of ions (atoms). In the model of an intermediate quasimolecular state, an increase in the internuclear density of electrons is considered to be a consequence of the formation of pair Bose-type electronic states arising from the contact interaction (attraction) of electrons at the femt scale as shown in hadron mechanics. Therefore, the electronic component of the current during the electrolysis of solutions should contribute to the synthesis of elements by initiating the formation of Bose electron pairs in tunable shells of ions (atoms). This conclusion is confirmed by estimates of the transparency coefficient for electron tunneling through the Coulomb barrier. The transparency coefficient for the tunneling of hydrogen nuclei in muon catalysis is estimated. The possibility of the occurrence of simple nuclear reactions during the interaction of the initial nuclei with quasineutrons is noted. © 2020, Institute for Metals Superplasticity Problems of Russian Academy of Sciences.
