This paper reports on an experiment for testing natural nuclear fusion at
low temperature searching for evidence of the origin of 3He from natural
nuclear fusion in deep Earth. The experiment was carried out using
deuterium-loaded titanium foil samples and powder sample. Detection of
charged particle was carried out using a low-level charged particle
spectrometer. An Al foil was used as an energy absorber for identification
of charged particle. Although the counting rate is very low in the
experiment, the emission of energetic particle from the sample is observed
and the particle is identified as a proton having energy about 2.8 MeV after
exiting the titanium sample. This work provides a positive result for the
emission of charged particle in the deuterium-loaded titanium foil samples
at low temperature, but a negative result for the deuterium-loaded titanium
powder sample. The average reaction yield is deduced to be (0.46�0.08)
protons/h for the foil samples. With the suggestion that the proton
originates from d�d reaction, we calculate the reaction rate for d�d
reaction, and the obtained result is 1.4�10-24 fusion/d�d�sec. The negative
result of the deuterium-loaded titanium powder sample suggests that the
reaction yield might be correlated with the density or microscopic variables
of deuterium-loaded titanium materials. The negative result also indicates
that d-d reaction catalysed by �-meson from cosmic ray can be excluded in
the samples in this experiment.

There are dozens of works like this coming out of China. Why don't the
intellectually lazy theoretical physics wackos do some fusion literature
research for change?
Now that ITER is a failure, all the plasma physics critics of cold fusion
are unemployed and on the bread line, so cold fusion is a safe subject
again.

4. Conclusions
....
This work provides a positive result of nuclear fusion at low temperature.
Besides d-d reaction other types of nuclear reactions might also be
involved. Our work may be helpful to the further study on the physical
mechanism of nuclear reaction in the deuterium (hydrogen)-loaded metals, and
has its importance to explanation of the energy release of solar flare and
high-energy astrophysics processes.[13] Detection of anomalous x-rays and
other particles are desirable. The present work also suggests that it is
certainly worth doing further investigation on the origin of 3He (nuclear
reaction) in the deep Earth.
