Evidence of Particles During Electrochemical Pd-D Co-deposition

Palladium deuterium co-deposition is used to explore condensed matter reactions. CR-39, a thermoset resin is a well characterized integrative detector that, when etched, shows tracks created by energetic charged particles produced in nuclear reactions. Analysis of tracks provides particle minimum energy and insights into identification (e.g. alpha versus proton). Certain tracks infer neutrons interacting with carbon atoms within the detector, resulting primarily in three alphas (e.g. triple tracks). We report our findings of Pd/D co-deposition on Au wire in an electrolytic cell, and our controls. Our findings imply the presence of nuclear reactions.
