The Use of Graphene for Controlled LENR in Thin Conductive Targets via Optimized Low-Voltage Corona Discharge

The problem of optimizing nuclear reactions at low energy of moving particle based on accelerator nuclear fusion is considered. It is shown that the optimization process may be linked to the formation of coherent correlated states of moving particles and accompanying fluctuations of transverse energy (30–100 keV). These phenomena occur when particles traverse a crystalline graphene channel (graphene nanotube) with an optimal energy of longitudinal motion around 500 eV. Furthermore, the study establishes that the most efficient method for implementing such systems is the use of a negative corona discharge in hydrogen or deuterium gas near the surface of conductive graphene nanotubes, in the presence of lithium or other fusion-optimal isotopes inside these nanotubes.
