X-ray emission (with intensity up to 0.01 Gy/s) was recorded in research on a possible mechanism of initiating nuclear transmutation reactions in a solid-state cathode medium in glow discharge experiments. The experiments were carried using a glow discharge1 with deuterium and hydrogen (at pressures up to 10 Torr), and using various cathode metals (Al, Sc, Ti, Ni, Nb, Zr, Mo, Pd, Ta, W, Pt and Pb). The x-rays were recorded using thermoluminescent detectors, x-ray film, and scintillation detectors with photomultipliers. Two different modes of the emission were observed during these experiments: (1) Diffusion x-rays were observed as separate x-ray bursts (up to 105 bursts a second and up to 106 x-ray quanta in a burst) with an average x-rays energy (from measurements using thermoluminescent detectors) in the range of 1.3-1.8 keV. (2) X-rays as laser microbeams (up to 104 beams a second and up to 109 x-ray quanta in a burst). The emission of the x-ray laser beams occurred during the discharge, and within 100ms after turning off the discharge current. The results obtained constitute a direct experimental proof for the existence of excited metastable energy levels with energies in the range 1.2-5.0 keV, within the solid-state cathode sample.
