Abstract
Neutron emissions from electrolysis of D 2 O with palladium and palladium-titanium electrodes as well as from pressurized D 2 gas with titanium alloys have been measured. The neutron detector system was so designed to have very low background condition. Neutron-γ separation technique using liquid scintillator was applied to obtain essentially no γ ray background condition for neutron counting. Special care was taken to stabilize the detection system using event-by-event data recording. No significant signal of neutron emission was observed. Upper limits of emission probability of neutron have been determined to be 6×10 -3 s -1 , 1×10 -2 s -1 , and 2.3×10 -2 s -1 for Pd electrode, Pd-Ti electrode, and pressurized gas systems. These values are orders of magnitude lower than that presented by Jones paper (0.4 s -1 ).
