Abstract

We discuss the possibility that deuteron cold fusion be catalysed by a free stable bound state of two anti-upquarks (electric charge of - 4/3, mass of a few GeV, and short range strong repulsion with hadrons). The reaction leading to the direct formation of He4 dominates. Bursts of neutrons, with a 3-body energy spectrum, are predicted. The proposed anti-diquark catalysis is attractive in that it could provide large power production, with relatively low radioactivity, if this kind of quark matter is found and accumulated.
