Description

No tritium yield from the low-temperature nuclear dd fusion reaction is found within the measurement error in titanium of different modifications and intermetallic compounds ZrNbV, LaCO5, LaNi4.9Al0.1, MM0.7Ti0.3Mn2. The upper limit estimates for the rate of the dd fusion reaction with tritium production in titanium and intermetallic compounds are found at the 90% confidence level: λf(Ti) ≤ 2 x 10-23 s-1(dd)-1; λfeff (ti, intermet.) ≤ 6 x 10-24 s-1 (dd)-1. 19 refs., 1 tab
