Description

A search for fast neutrons induced by the chemical reaction LiD+D2O has been performed using the pulse shape discrimination technique for neutron identification. Contrary to Arzhannikov and Kezerashvili neither continuous nor bunched neutron emission was observed. The upper limit of neutron emission was estimated as ≤2.5 neutrons per gram of deuterized matter during the chemical reaction. (orig.)
