Possible mechanism of low-energy nuclear transformations

Experiments show that low–energy nuclear transformations are the work of weak nuclear interactions, which can affect not only one atom, but also several atoms. This should be the basis for explaining the phenomenon of low-energy (cold) nuclear transformations. The hypothesis that neutrino-antineutrino pairs capable of nuclear transformations are formed in hot matter, especially matter containing many free electrons, for example, in metals, as well as the involvement of statistical physics, make it possible to explain not only the fundamental possibility of low-energy nuclear transformations, but also the experimentally discovered properties of this phenomenon. The article is based on reports made at the 28th Conference on Cold Transmutations of Nuclei and Ball lightning Physics.
