Study of DD-reaction yields from the Ti/TiO2:Dx heterostructure at low energies using the GELIS setup

Abstract

The results of measurements of the DD-reaction yields from the Ti/TiO2:Dx heterostructure in the energy range of 10–25 keV are presented. Neutron and proton fluxes were measured using a neutron detector based on He-3 counters and a CR-39 plastic track detector. A comparison with calculations showed the existence of significant effects of DD-reaction yield amplification. The screening potential for this heterostructure under these experimental conditions was estimated to be in the range U e = 160–750 eV.
