Abstract

Method and apparatus for generating ultra-low momentum neutrons ('ULMNs') using surface plasmon polariton electrons 14, hydrogen isotopes 10, surfaces 20 of metallic substrate 12, collective many-body effects, and weak interactions in a controlled manner. The ULMNs can be used to trigger nuclear transmutation reactions and produce heat. One aspect of the present invention effectively provides a 'transducer' mechanism that permits controllable, low-energy, scalable condensed matter system at comparatively modest temperatures and pressures.
