Abstract

The variation of the concentration of 14C in graphite subjected to vibratory milling in the presence of heavy (or light) water is investigated using methods of radiocarbon β-spectral analysis. It is discovered that the C+D2O system exhibits a statistically significant increase in the β counting rate in comparison to the C+H2O system milled under similar conditions. A quantitative model of the transmutation of the 13C isotope into the 14C isotope involving an interaction of multiphonon excitations with deuterons in the graphite crystal lattice in the presence of background thermal neutrons is proposed.
