Abstract:Weak nuclear emissions accompanied deuterium loading/deloading into Ti and Pd matrix have been studied for more than a dozen years. PdDx sample subjected to electrochemical/gas loading or deuterium desorption/deloading generate weak random fluxes of DD-reaction products (neutrons and protons) and energetic alpha particles. However, reproducibility of these emissions was low depending on material quality and experimental conditions. Here we present new reproducible results on DD-reaction products, energetic alpha particles and soft X-ray emissions detected in controlled conditions of exothermic deuterium desorption from the surface of Pd/PdO:Dx heterostructure.
