Search for helium synthesis on a platinum cathode in a gas discharge in deuterium. A negative result

详细

An attempt has been made to detect a helium synthesis reaction resulting from a collision of deuterium nuclei diffusing on a surface of a platinum cathode under gas-discharge conditions. After 134 h of discharge in a flask with deuterium, helium spectral lines have not been detected with an accuracy of 10^–4 of the intensity of deuterium spectral lines.
