...think that there's a tremendous amount of evidence that [the Utah experiment] is a mistake," Petrasso said...
...Petrasso said a graph Pons and Fleischmann published to describe the energy released in their experiment was erroneous, and he said that gamma rays, a by-product of fusion reactions, were not emitted in the experiment...
...results show that they probably never saw any gamma rays at all," Petrasso said...
Other physicists at the convention supported Petrasso's report. Nathan Lewis, a chemist at the California Institute of Technology, said Monday that his duplications of the original experiment showed no evidence at all of nuclear reactions, even when the parameters of the experiment were changed...
Ronald R. Parker, the director of MIT's Plasma Fusion Center and a member of Petrasso's research team, said at a news conference Monday that no neutrons or gamma rays could have been detected in the Pons-Fleischmann experiment...
