Abstract

The emission of X-ray quanta, neutrons, and charged particles from deuterated structures under X-ray irradiation is studied. Targets (deuterated chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD)-diamond, palladium, zirconium, and titanium) are irradiated with the use of an X-ray tube equipped with a polycapillary lens with an energy of up to 30 keV and an X-ray tube equipped with a collimator with an energy of up to 25 keV. Different types of detectors, such as a multichannel neutron detector based on He-3 counters, a CR-39 plastic track detector, and silicon surface barrier detectors, are used. The emission of neutrons with an energy of above 10 MeV and alpha particles with an energy range of 7–15 MeV is revealed. This result indicates the possibility of stimulating multiparticle fusion reactions between deuterium nuclei in solid deuterated structures. The analysis of X-ray fluorescence spectra demonstrate the existence of “additional” peaks, which cannot be identified by any characteristic X-ray fluorescence line. Their appearance cannot be associated with any known element or diffraction process. The nature of the origination of the “additional” peaks requires special study.
