Negative Results on the Verification of Hypothesis for Existence of 'Cold' and 'Hot' Fusion in Ti/(D-T) and ZrNbV/(D-T) Systems

摘要

Results of experimental verification of low-temperature nuclear fusion phenomena in metal/hydrogen systems are presented. Titanium and intermetallic compound ZrNbV were selected as saturated substances. Samples were saturated with a deuterium-tritium mixture. The neutron emission excess above the background level is not observed within the measurement error for substances under investigation, saturated with deuterium-tritium mixture. The hypothesis of possible existence of 'hot' nuclear dt-fusion in metal/(D-T) systems has not been experimentally verified either. 14 refs., 7 figs., 1 tab. (Atomindex citation 26:053989)
