| The experimental activities on nuclear reactions at room temperature started at ENEA soon after the paper by M. Fleishmann and S. Pons in March 1989. As physicists we were very excited about the chance of a new class of nuclear phenomena inside condensed matter. Therefore, we decided to use the competence in solid state physics of our group and the skill of our technicians, in order to get rid of the puzzle, also involving other colleagues with complementary expertise in chemistry and nuclear particle detection. We have been working for more than 13 years to know what kind of questions to address in solving one of the most mysterious issues with which the nature ever challenged us and, after long term and intensive research, we found ourselves able to give a reasonable problem solving explanation. In this talk I will report on the history of a scientific project that, from all the results obtained, gives unambiguous evidence for low energy nuclear reactions in condensed matter. |
