This report deals with a application of hadronic mechanics for the achievement of truly new and clean energies known as the Intermediate Controlled Nuclear Fusions. The ongoing research is based on the laboratory synthesis of the neutron as occurring in stars from a proton and an electron, which synthesis has already been achieved in a preliminary form. The research then deals with the synthesis of the nitrogen from carbon and deuterium via the intermediate synthesis of the neutron because the nitrogen synthesis is: very esoenergetic; the easiest among all possible nuclear syntheses; and the cleanest possible because, under threshold energies, it does not release harmful radiation and does not leave radioactive waste. A verifiable energy output of five times the used electric energy has been achieved to date thanks to significant corporate investments. A major effort is under way in the U.S.A. and abroad to understands the mechanisms of the nitrogen synthesis and enhance it to the level of a new electric power source,

Th research has been pioneered by the Italian American physicist Dr. Ruggero Maria Santilli, a former scientist at Harvard University under DOE support (see his CV at http://www.i-b-r.org/Ruggero-Maria-Santilli.htm , a summary of his unprecedented mathematical physical and chemical discoveries in http://www.santilli-foundation.org/santilli-scientific-discoveries.html , and the Nobel Nominations in http://www.santilli-foundation.org/santilli-nobel-nominations.html)

ABSTRACT

In this article, we first review the studies conducted over the past three decades on the covering / generalization of quantum mechanics known as {\bf hadronic mechanics,} according to studies initiated in 1978 by the Italian-American physicist {\bf Ruggero Maria Santilli} when at Harvard University under DOE support and completed thanks to contributions from mathematicians, theoreticians and experimentalists around the world. We then review Santilli's application of hadronic mechanics to Rutherford's synthesis of the neutron from a hydrogen atom inside a star via a generalized bound state of a proton and an electron; we review the available experimental evidence on the laboratory synthesis of neutrons from protons and electrons; and we outline the possibility of stimulating the decay of the neutron, with possible applications to a basically new form of nuclear energy known as {\bf hadronic energy,} as well as to the {\bf recycling of nuclear waste via its stimulated decay.} In view of the {\bf environmental application of the studies,} the article includes a retrospective view suggesting the achievement of a technical knowledge of the new mechanics prior to venturing judgments via the old quantum mechanics due to its inapplicability to the synthesis of the neutroin from a proton and an electron identified in detail in the presentation. The article then ends with a forward view on the application of hadronic mechanics for the prediction and quantitative treatment of new energies at the particle, nuclear and molecular levels, with particular reference to energies that cannot be predicted or treated via quantum mechanics. The reader should be aware that this is a review article without claims of scientific novelties or priorities, except for a presentation of Santilli's advanced studies in a form more understandable to the average scientist.
