Abstract

The possibility of initiation of nuclear chemical processes in the Pb cathode during a glow discharge in a low-temperature deuterium-containing nonequilibrium plasma leading to a significant (at times) decrease in the isotope content of some impurity elements (specifically, Zn) and increasing others (specifically, W, Fe, Mn, and Al). Such processes can be understood by introducing the existence in nuclear matter of metastable non-nucleon excitations of internal shaking (isu-states) formed by initiating actions on the nuclei of electrons with high (on chemical scales) kinetic energy Ee ~ 3–5 eV.
