Analysis of an attempt at detection of neutrons produced in a plasma discharge electrolytic cell A. Widom, J. Swain, Y. N. Srivastava (Submitted on 11 Nov 2013) R. Faccini et al. [1] have attempted a replication of an earlier experiment by D. Cirillo et al. [2] in which neutrons [as well as nuclear transmutations] were observed in a modied Mizuno cell. No neutron production is observed in the recent experiment [1] and no evidence for microwave radiation or nuclear transmutations are reported. A careful analysis shows major technical dierences in the two experiments and we explore the underlying reasons for the lack of any nuclear activity in the newer experiment.
