Abstract
- Experiments using high-efficiency neutron detectors have detected neutron emission from various forms of Pd and Ti metal in pressurized D<subscript>2</subscript> gas cells and D<subscript>2</subscript>O electrolysis cells. Four independent neutron detectors based on<superscript>3</superscript>He gas tubes were used. Both random neutrons (0.05–0.2 n/s) and time-correlated neutron bursts (10–280 n) of =100-µs duration were measured using time-correlation counting techniques. The majority of the neutron burst events occurred at ~ -30°C as the samples were warming up from the liquid nitrogen temperature.
