Abstract :
Many elements on Pd electrode were confirmed by several analytical methods; reaction products with the mass number up to 208 are deposited on palladium cathodes which were subjected to electrolysis in a heavy water solution at high pressure, temperature and current density for prolonged time. These masses were composed of many elements ranged from hydrogen to lead. Extraordinary observations were the changes of their isotopic distributions in the produced elements; these were radically different from the natural ones. For example, natural chromium is 4.3% Cr50, 84% Cr52, 9.5% Cr53 and 2.4% Cr54. But the chromium found on the Pd surface was 14% Cr50, 51% Cr52, 2.4% Cr53 and 11% Cr54. Natural isotopic distribution varies by less than 0.003% for Cr. Essentially the same phenomenon was confirmed eight times with high reproducibility at high cathodic current density, above 0.2 A/cm2. All the possibilities of contamination had been carefully eliminated by several pretreatment for the sample and electrolysis system. It means that a nuclear reaction had taken place during the electrochemical treatment. It is indicating the role of new interactions discovered in the framework of a generalization of the usual quantum mechanics. Evidently such new interactions. Due to the mutual overlap of wavepackets, should explain the new phenomenologies that are experimentally observed in this study
