Dear all,
My name is Noriyuki Kodama, an independent researcher from Japan.
I am writing to introduce a recent theoretical work that I believe may be relevant to your research interests regarding the structure of nucleons, the validity of QCD, and the interpretation of anomalous phenomena in metal–hydrogen systems.
Over the past several years, I have been studying the role of Deep Dirac Level (DDL) electrons in condensed-matter nuclear reactions (LENR) and in the internal structure of nucleons.
These efforts have led me to formulate a model that may provide an alternative to the conventional quark-based description of protons and neutrons.
I have summarized this theoretical framework in the following paper:
📄 My Paper
“Cold Fusion Standard Theory: Beyond the Conventional Standard Model of Physics”
https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.26887.05280
In this work, I make the following key claims:
1. The neutron is not an elementary particle.
I propose that the neutron is a composite state of a proton and a Deep Dirac Level (DDL) electron.
This explains its beta decay and internal energy structure without invoking quarks.
2. The proton can be described as a bound structure of DDL electron and DDL positron components.
Thus, many properties attributed to “quark dynamics” can instead be explained by relativistic electron–positron interactions.
3. Cold fusion (LENR) is driven by the formation of femto-scale hydrogen clusters (fH, fH₂, fD₂)
These arise when hydrogen is trapped inside metal vacancies, where electron density becomes extremely high and electrons fall into DDL states.
4. Nuclear transmutation signatures (e.g., mass number +4, atomic number +4 in fD₂ systems)
These results cannot be explained by conventional deuteron models, but are naturally derived if DDL electrons participate in nuclear interactions.
5. Broad 500 keV X-ray spectra and 511 keV signatures
These can be interpreted as electronic transitions and annihilation processes within DDL-based proton and neutron structures.
I believe these points may connect with many themes in your own research, including:
• the limitations of the quark model,
• the proton radius puzzle,
• QCD’s explanatory deficits,
• nuclear effects arising from high-density electron environments,
• alternative interpretations of nuclear forces and nucleon structure.
If you are interested, I would be very happy to exchange ideas, answer questions, or provide additional manuscripts and supporting data.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
I look forward to your response.
