The paper describes an experiment of irradiation - with braking quanta γ and electrons with Emax = 10MeV and with an intensity of about 20 μA - of a mixture of He-D2 gases (33/67%) at an initial pressure of about 1800 bar in sufficient long time to observe expected results. The preceding experiment with gamma irradiation of the research system did not lead to noticeable changes. After the experiment with electrons, an analysis of objects exposed and available with the help of a scanning microscope with an X-ray microprobe was carried out. Particularly interesting was the radical change in the composition of the near-surface layer (2-3 μm) of elements made of beryllium bronze and pure copper, as well as founded small free particles in the form of small foils of a majority composition – carbon, oxygen and magnesium. The experiment is a continuation of our research related to the phenomenon of low-energy nuclear transmutations (not to be confused with the so-called cold fusion), a new field of knowledge, independent of the phenomena described by its fundamental part - nuclear physics.
