Abstract:We performed the discharge experiment in deuterium gas atmosphere using cathode with multi-layered structure of Pd/CaO/Pd, and Pd/CaO complexes on which Cs was deposited, and the possibility that the transmutation of Cs to Pr just as being observed in the recent permeation experiment was investigated. In this study, we have not seen the clear evidence for Pr production. There are still problems in the characteristics of discharge method to induce the reaction significantly. In addition to the study of such specified transmutation process, we surveyed all the elements qualitatively and check newly produced elements as well as anomaly in the isotopic abundance for the elements detected, and found some candidates of isotopes supposed to be produced during the experiment.
