• A theoretical interpretation is presented for anomalous enhancements of nuclear reaction rates for deuteron–deuteron, deuteron–lithium, and proton–lithium reactions that were recently observed at low energies from deuteron and proton beam experiments. Using a generalized momentum-distribution function derived by Galitskii and Yakimets, which has high-energy momentum distribution tail of the inverse eighth power of the momentum, we obtain an approximate semi-analytical formula for nuclear reaction rates. Comparison of our theoretical estimates with recent experimental data indicates that the theory may provide a reasonable and consistent theoretical explanation of the experimental data. Based on predictions of our theoretical formula, we suggest a set of experiments for testing some of the theoretical predictions.
