A series of experiments have been carried out to try and detect 'cold fusion' in titanium which has been loaded with deuterium at high pressure. No neutrons were detected using a range of counting systems, the most sensitive of which could detect 0.9 neutronsis if sustained over 100 S. Bursts of more than 30 neutrons occurring in a period of less than 0.1 S could also have been detected using coincidence counting. Evidence for erratic behaviour of proportional counters, which could be mistaken for neutron emission, is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
