Further evidence of nuclear reactions in the Pd/D lattice: emission of charged particles

Abstract

In our above-mentioned paper, we describe a model that results in the generation of low-energy neutrons. We find that Widom and Larsen have done a thorough mathematical treatment that describes one mechanism to create such lowenergy neutrons. This mathematical treatment has been described in the following reference:Widom A, Larsen L (2006) Ultra low momentum neutron catalyzed nuclear reactions on metallic hydride surfaces. Eur Phys J C46:107-111.We regret the omission of this reference. Naturwissenschaften (2007) 94:515

Detection of high energy particles using CR-39 detectors part 1: Results of microscopic examination, scanning, and LET analysis

“…We have done close to fifty experiments using different substrates to plate on, with and without external fields, as well as different cell configurations [41,43,44] and have gotten the same results. These experiments were replicated by three groups of senior chemical engineering undergraduates at the University of California San Diego [45].…”

“…The emission of energetic charged particles during Pd/D co-deposition has been reported [41]. To detect these high energy particles, the solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD), CR-3 39 was used [42].…”

“…Some of the most significant in-situ particle detection has been observed in experiments and replications of work originating from the U.S. Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command Center in San Diego, California (23).…”

Comparison of Pd/D co-deposition and DT neutron generated triple tracks observed in CR-39 detectors

“…CR-39 detectors have been used to detect energetic particles in both Pd/D gas-loading [7] and electrolyticloading experiments [8][9][10][11][12]. More recently, detection of particles using CR-39 detectors was demonstrated for the Pd/D co-deposition process, in which palladium is electroplated onto a non-hydriding metal surface [13]. A series of control experiments showed that the optical properties of the observed Pd/D co-deposition tracks were consistent with those observed for nuclear particle generated tracks, that the tracks were not due to radioactive contamination of the cell components, nor were the tracks due to either chemical or mechanical damage [14].…”
