COMPUTER CODE
C.L.A.I.R.E. is a sophisticated software package that
simulates the dynamics of charged particles within a metal latticeC.L.A.I.R.E. has been developed to analyze the dynamic of the
shot and target based on the previous system of differential equationsWith C.L.A.I.R.E. we can evaluate the number of effective collisions using a
Montecarlo approach
OUTLOOK
In the majority of cold fusion calorimetric experiments, studying the Pd-D system, an excess of heat production ranging between some tenth of watts for cubic centimeter up to some hundreds of watts for cubic centimeter has been observed
We have seen, in the above described study, that there is a "
collision effect" between deuterons embedded within a Ni lattice. The simulation allowed us to estimate that approximately 500 collisions occur over 106 particles entering in the lattice with a target staying at rest into a tetrahedral site and that the deuterons accelerated by the lattice field can gain an energy of some KeVThese can be the first step toward a further developments of a theoretical study in such a matter
