I see and appreciate your approach Ed, but being impatient after almost two decades of waiting on those "figuring out the mechanism" suggests trying a bigger hammer.
>From your results of getting the same radiation by bombarding Copper or Silver as well as Pd and Pd-Pt with deuterons in the glow discharge one can assume that follow-on bombardment at higher energy levels (in the early 1960s I implanted Copper ions in Tantalum and Molybdenum at Sandia) could yield some interesting information, Hot Fusion or not. Copper clad steel air rifle BBs (about 0.170 inches diameter) plate nicely with Copper or Silver. A poor boy's catalyst.
