Experimental Investigation of Cold Fusion Phenomena in Palladium by Jean-Pierre Blaser, Otto Haas, Claude Petitjean, Cesar Barbero, Willy Bertl, Kegang Lou, Marc Mathias, Peter Baumann, Herbert Daniel, Joachim Hartmann, Erich Hechtl, Peter Ackerbauer, Peter Kammel, Armin Scrinzi, Hannes Zmeskal, Taddec Kozlowski, Rolf Kipfer, Heinrich Baur, Peter Signer, Rainer Wieler

“…Simultaneously, with a NE213 neutron and a BGO gamma detector, we searched for the occurrence of excess neutrons or gammas that might arise from nuclear fusion processes. Our results are negative, i.e. we detected no excess heat within less than 0.1 watt (expectation of Pons and Fleischmann 1 watt) and we found no nuclear radiation in excess to the background (level of neutron sensitivity < 0.14 n/s or < 10-13 W and 5.5 MeV-γ sensitivity < 0.1 γ/s). …”
