Abstract:

We propose a deterministic framework of nuclear reactions based on a generalization of two previous tentative infinite dimensional hidden variable models of the author which were applied to Hydrogen stationary atomic spectra and atomic quantum jumps. We conceive the nucleon as an open system immersed in a polarized vacuum; we therefore modify the Gamow nuclear tunneling transition probabilities making them dependent on a hidden vacuum index of refraction. We illustrate our selfconsistent model based on two equations coupling the vacuum index with nuclear electromagnetic potentials. We describe then a non Hamiltonian classical approach to the microscopic dynamic of internucleon interactions. We deduce some formulas that allow to calculate nuclear mass variation and electromagnetic emitted radiation during nuclear decays. We therefore explain nuclear decays as phenomena caused by a hidden deterministic nuclear dissipative force , that we suggest to interprete as a vacuum friction force of the polarized excited nucleus. We propose an iterative method to solve the equations of our model aimed to predict nuclear fission time and to explain the microscopic nuclear dynamics by fluctuating classical nuclear electromagnetic potentials. Finally we briefly resume our critiques to the standard description of nuclear processes based on Quantum Mechanics formalism and its successful predictive power based on stationary statistical averages .
