Abstract

Some of the issues covered in the monograph "Low-Temperature Nuclear Fusion: An Introduction to the Problem and Its Conceptual Solution" related to the physical nature of cold nuclear fusion reactions are discussed. The simplest variant of synthesis, leading to the formation of a nucleus adjacent (in the periodic table) to the initial nucleus, is associated with the concept of quasi-neutron states. The occurrence of more complex reactions is due to the formation of specific electronic structures that contribute to the approach of atomic nuclei to distances at which the strong interaction of nucleons dominates. A number of observed effects are noted that are consistent with the proposed physical picture.
