A Search for Correlated Quantum States in Nuclear Reactions: First Exciting Results From an Experimental Test

The first experimental test of the Correlated-Coherent quantum States (CCS) model is described in this paper, showing its potentialities in the explanation of anomalous effects in nuclear physics and astrophysics. Some very interesting events, which cannot be ascribed to background, have been observed. The occurrence of nuclear reactions at very low energy is a clear indication of a strong enhancement of Coulomb barrier transmissivity. Some technical issues, which are related to this difficult experiment are discussed, and possible suggestions for the next activity on this topic are also presented. (c) 2022 ICCF.
