LOW ENERGY NEUTRINOS AS THE CAUSE OF ANOMALIES IN BETA DECAYS AND COLD NUCLEAR TRANSMUTATIONS

In a number of experiments, when registering particles emitted in beta decays, periodic fluctuations in the counting rate with an amplitude of up to tenths of a percent of the average value were detected, and short bursts were found that significantly exceed the usual counting rate. These anomalies can be comprehensively explained by the participation of extremely low-energy cosmic neutrinos in beta decays. The assumption that neutrino-antineutrino pairs are generated by collisions of matter particles during thermal motion allows us to find approaches to explaining the phenomenon of cold nuclear transmutations. Experiments proving this hypothesis are described.
