Rossi has consistently refused to provide details of what is going
on inside the E-Cat reactor, but he has mentioned that gamma rays
have been detected. Recently in a video interview when asked about
whether the E-Cat was a 'cold fusion' technology he said, "we have
found traces of fusion because we have found 511 kev gamma rays at
the output, which is the emission of a positron and an electron, and
a positron is the product of a proton turning into a neutron, so we
have some kind of fusion inside, but I do not think this is the main
energy source." E-Cat World 2-9-12
This may be old news, but in case not...
One of the mysteries of the Jan 2011 experiment was that 511 kEV
gamma inside the lead shielding was NOT detected:

They also had a twin gamma ray detector assembled in order to detect
e+e- annihilation. In this run, almost no such results were detected.
Focardi was confident that they were going to get large amounts of
such signal, as in previous experiments. This time, the counts were
close to background for coincidences, and only some uncorrelated
signal was over background.

The twin-gamma setup was never repeated.
