In experiments to investigate the application of gas phase as a medium for cold fusion, a Pd vessel was exposed to deuterium gas, dissociated in an electric discharge at between -10 and -20 °C. After absorption had proceeded for 8h, neutrons were detected at levels approaching the full scale on the recording equipment. This lasted for 3 h before falling to zero. The gas remaining in the Pd was removed by exposing it to oxygen dissociated by the electric discharge. Water produced was collected in a cold trap and tested for beta radiation as evidence for tritium formation . The level of radiation found was over 6000 counts/min. This was 20 fold above the background since a similar sized sample of heavy water made from the deuterium gave a reading of 300 counts/min. Further attempts to perform similar experiments were unsuccessful. At the time this was puzzling, however recent insights into solid phase gas fusion may shed light on possible causes for this failure and it is worth pursuing this approach as the gas phase presents certain advantages over methods currently used. This work was carried out in 1990.
