Giant Neutron Trapping by a Molecular Species Produced During the Reaction of D⁺ with H⁻ in a Condensed Phase

In an attempt to study the claim of deuterium-deuterium fusions resulting from redox reactions involving deuterium, it has been discovered that in the control reaction D⁺ + H⁻ → HD (where the reaction takes place in a condensed phase, either homogeneously or heterogeneously), a compound is formed that can reduce the neutron background count rate by an amount higher than that produced by the most efficient neutron absorbers.
