Abstract

R. Faccini et al. \citeFaccini:2013 have attempted a replication of an earlier experiment by D. Cirillo et al. \citeCirillo:2012 in which neutrons [as well as nuclear transmutations] were observed in a modified Mizuno cell. No neutron production is observed in the recent experiment \citeFaccini:2013 and no evidence for microwave radiation or nuclear transmutations are reported. A careful analysis shows major technical differences in the two experiments and we explore the underlying reasons for the lack of any nuclear activity in the newer experiment.
