No, background radiation makes nuclear radiation a noisy and ambiguous signal.
The unambiguous result is the presence of fusion by-products, but unfortunately they're not seen here.
In particular, there should be detectable amounts of He-3, lithium, beryllium, etc, none of which seem to have been found.
All the listed elements are common cross-metal contaminants and should be present in far lower ratio than He, Li, Be et al.
- gnufx 6y ago> No, background radiation makes nuclear radiation a noisy and ambiguous signal. You make a decent measurement -- my former speciality. That's not waving a Geiger counter surrounded by concrete or granite. (It just wouldn't have been worth the effort at the time of the original cold fusion nonsense.) Sure, about atomic reaction products if you can analyse their appearance as well as neutrons and gamma rays.
