Makes no sense to argue otherwise. Bite the bullet. There is no evidence of
hydrogen fusion in Rossi; and there are many hours of data showing that no
radiation over background is occurring - and moreover it was done using a
very capable monitoring device which was designed to detect positron
emission specifically.
This was measured only in the January experiment. Celani noted that Focardi was surprised by their absence

* It was assembled also a twin gamma ray detector in order to detect e+e- annihilation: this time almost no results. Focardi was confident that they will get large amounts of such signal, as in previous experiment. This time the counts were close to background for coincidences and only some uncorrelated signal were over background.
This was the "start up burst" experiment : http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg42665.html
Both showed what Celani considers normal background for Italy at that elevation. As he was waiting, suddenly, during a 1-second interval both detectors were saturated. That is to say, they both registered counts off the scale. The following seconds the NaI detector returned to nomal. The Geiger counter had to be switched off to "delete overrange," which was >7.5 microsievert/hour, and later switched on again. About 1 to 2 minutes after this event, Rossi emerged from the other room and said the machine just turned on and the demonstration was underway. - - - - - I'm not sure what conclusions can be drawn from the lack of expected e-/e+ gammas AND the occurrence of an unexpected burst.
