Vice Chancellor for Research Seminar Series:
Excess Heat and Particle Tracks from Deuterium-loaded Palladium
Friday, May 29, 2009
12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Jesse Wrench Auditorium
Memorial Union
University of Missouri
Many research groups have reported excess heat from deuterated
palladium using many different experimental techniques. Recently, the
Navy's SPAWAR laboratory published experimental results that document
the production of nuclear particles, thereby suggesting that nuclear
reactions are occurring. However, these observed particle tracks are
at levels that are much smaller than would be expected if this excess
heat resulted from conventional nuclear fusion. These excess heat
reports often vastly exceed that which would likely be produced by
chemical reactions or by structural phase transitions in the palladium.
Please join us to closely review these experimental results, to
explore hypothetical models for the possible physical origin of these
effects, and to propose well-controlled experiments that may be
conducted in the future in an attempt to rule out these hypothetical models.
Attendance: First Come/First Served Seating (Capacity: 224). No
