Measurement and analysis of neutron and gamma-ray emission rates, other fusion products, and power in electrochemical cells having Pd cathodes

“…[17]); and for the CalTech negative experimental result, with loading measurements quoted at 0.77, 0.78, and 0.80 (Ref. [18]).…”

“…Perhaps the most cited early negative result was that of Lewis et al [17] from CalTech in which they reported that "D/Pd stoichiometries of 0.77, 0.79, and 0.80 obtained from these measurements were taken to be representative of the D/Pd stoichiometry for the charged cathodes used in this work." Also widely cited is the early negative result of Albagli et al [18] from MIT who discuss "average loading ratios were found to be 0.75±0.05 and 0.78±0.05 for the D and H loaded cathodes, respectively." The CalTech and MIT negatives are noted in Figure 5 in a histogram illustrating a number of early SRI experiments producing positive excess power results as a function of loading.…”

Confusion over Cold Fusion: A Possible Explanation

“…But some experiments eventually reported production of 4 2 He [1]. However, generation of the excess heat or the nuclear fusion products during electrolysis of D 2 O has not been confirmed, and the claims have been dismissed by the scientific community [10] [11] [12].…”

A Tribute to Richard M. Crooks on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday

“…There, he worked mainly on the charge transfer and conductivity characteristics of electrode‐grafted conducting polymers under various oxidation states. In a side project, Dick found himself in the middle of the cold fusion debate as an active member of the MIT team that helped debunk the claim of cold fusion (Figure ) …”
