Coherent nuclear fusion

Abstract

Nuclear fusion reaction is greatly enhanced by the coherent properties of bosons in its product. A simple model calculation yields an enhancement factor [Formula: see text] for each coherent boson in its product. Explicit calculation is carried out for [Formula: see text]. Its coherent reaction rate is shown to increase as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the number of coherent nuclear reactions among deuterons. The number [Formula: see text] must be greater than a certain critical value before coherent nuclear fusions occur. Several decoherent effects need to be minimized so that the nuclear reaction can become coherent. Current technical levels for extreme ultraviolet lasers, ultrashort laser pulse, the strongest transient magnetic field and nanotechnology are found sufficient to construct the first nuclear coherent fusion experiment.
