Аннотация: The study is dedicated to the observation of nuclear transformations initiated by mechanical impact. There are numerous publications demonstrating the possibility of transmutation induced by mechanical impact. This paper explores the phenomena of copper and zinc transmutation. Previously, the conversion of zinc to copper, with a trПоказать полностьюansition energy of1352.13KeV, was reported.The Zn to Cu nuclear decay scheme is perform in [8]. Two of the paths (50.23% and 48.35%) are by electron capture (e-) and one path (1.421%) is by positron emission (в+fEnergy equal to 236.57 keV is released during the transformation of zinc into copper. It is likely that the transformation of copper into zinc requires energy of the same order of magnitude. Moreover, more than half of the zinc atoms undergo transformations of this type. In our work, we employed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microanalysis to detect zinc particles emerging in copper sample after being impacted by a steel ball traveling at a speed of 780 m/s. using the INCA Penta FETx3 energy-dispersive analysis attachment spherical zinc particles with a diameter ofapproximately 1 urn were identified in localized areas of the deformed copper sample. The kinetic energy is converted into transmutation energy through the adiabatic interaction between the rough surface points of the ball and the copper sample.
