High-Sensitivity Search for Neutrons During Electrochemical Reactions

A search for neutrons generated during cold fusion in an electrochemical cell has been conducted using a redundant detector system with three independent channels, an overall measured efficiency of 9.2%, and a background of 10 count/h. While spurious signals indicative of neutrons occurred one channel at a time, no real neutron emission events, where a signal is observed in all three channels simultaneously, were recorded for a wide variety of electrodes and electrolytes.
