摘要：
In this communication we summarize relevant results obtained for CR−39 detectors used in Pd/D co-deposition experiments. These results include evidence of neutrons, notably 14.1 MeV neutrons, and control experiments to rule out chemical/mechanical damage as the source of the pitting. The SRI replication is discussed. The CR-39 detectors used in this replication underwent exhaustive analysis by noted CR-39 experts from NASA and Russian Academy of Sciences. We also address alternative explanations offered by other researchers as to the source of the pitting in CR-39 detectors used in Pd/D co-deposition. These include deuteroxide/O2 attack, shockwaves resulting from D2/O2 recombination, and corona discharge. We also explored why the pits are primarily circular in shape and why the emission of Pd K shell X-rays is not observed. © 2021 ISCMNS. All rights reserved.
