Search for Nuclear Reactions in Water Molecules

A possibility for molecular-nuclear transitions to occur was recently predicted for some few-atomic systems. Among others, the molecule of ordinary water was shown to be a candidate for this effect due to a presence of (1-, 4.522 MeV) resonance in 18Ne nucleus. A search for traces of nuclear reactions was carried out for condenced and vaporous phases of water, with the use of low-background annihilation spectrometry. The measurements were performed under conventional conditions and under conditions of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory.

Experimental search for molecular-nuclear transitions in water

Experimental search for molecular-nuclear transitions H_2O\to^{18}Ne^*(4.522,1^-)\to^{18}F\to^{18}O in water molecules was carried out. The measurements were performed in a low-background laboratory at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory. Under the assumption that the above transitions take place, the estimate for the half-life time of water molecule was found to be about 10^{18} years.
