“…Taking into account energy losses, they attributed the species giving rise to the increased count rates to 3.03 MeV protons. There have been additional reports of neutron [36][37][38] and tritium [39][40][41] emissions in the Pd/D system. However, the detection systems in these experiments were not capable of measuring the energies of the emitted particles.…”

Solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs), such as CR-39, have been used to detect energetic charged particles and neutrons. Of the neutron and charged particle interactions that can occur in CR-39, the one that is the most easily identifiable is the carbon breakup reaction. The observation of a triple track, which appears as three alpha particle tracks breaking away from a center point, is diagnostic of the 12 C(n, n)3α carbon breakup reaction. Such triple tracks have been observed in CR-39 detectors that have been used in Pd/D co-deposition experiments. In this communication, triple tracks in CR-39 detectors observed in Pd/D co-deposition experiments are compared with those generated upon exposure to a DT neutron source. It was found that both sets of tracks were indistinguishable. Both symmetric and asymmetric tracks were observed. Using linear energy transfer (LET) curves and track modeling, the energy of the neutron that created the triple track can be estimated.

Three different sets of experiments conducted in the Navy Laboratory (NAWCWD) at China Lake, California (1990California ( -1994 clearly established that helium-4 is the main fusion product in the Pd/D 2 O+LiOD electrolysis system. A correlation between excess enthalpy and excess helium-4 was measured in 18 out of 21 experiments. The observation of no excess enthalpy was correlated with no excess helium in 12 out of 12 experiments. Thus 30 out of 33 experiments agree with the hypothesis that the excess enthalpy produced in cold fusion studies is correlated with helium-4 production: D + D → 4 He + 23.8 MeV. Furthermore, the measured rate of helium-4 production was always in the appropriate range of 10 10 to 10 12 atoms per second per watt of excess power.

“…Consequently, any experiments that show the emission of energetic particles would support this supposition. There have been previous reports of tritium [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], neutrons [8,9,13,14,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], charged particles [29][30][31], and helium-4 [32][33][34][35][36] generated electrochemically using either Pd or Ti cathodes. A review of nuclear products generated as a result of LENR experiments [37] summarizes the nuclear products that have been detected using various methods in both electrolytic and gas loading experiments.…”

CR-39 detectors were used to detect high energy particles produced during Pd/D co-deposition. Upon completion of the experiments, the detectors were subjected to either microscopic examination, scanning using an automated scanner to obtain quantitative information on the tracks, sequential etching, or linear energy transfer (LET) spectrum analysis. Both the sequential etching and LET analysis allowed speciation of the particles that caused the tracks as well as estimating their energies. In these experiments it was shown that the tracks coincide with the placement of the Pd deposit. The average number of tracks obtained as a result of 1 Corresponding 2 Pd/D co-deposition is more than 133 times greater than that found in the background. In this communication, the results of microscopic examination, scanning, and LET analysis are discussed.
