Negative result of an experiment aimed at verifying the hypothesis that cold and hot nuclear fusion occurs in Ti/(D-T) and ZrNbV/(D-T) systems

The results of an experiment aimed at verifying the hypothesis that low-temperature nuclear fusion occurs in metal-hydrogen systems are presented. Titanium and an intermetallic compound ZrNbV saturated with a deuterium-tritium mixture are chosen for substances to be studied. Within experimental errors, no excess of neutron emission above the background level is observed for these substances saturated with a deuterium-tritium mixture. The hypothesis that hot nuclear dt fusion occurs in metal/(D-T) systems is not confirmed in our experiment either.
