Thin titanium films bombarded with low-energy deuterium ions produce hydrogen isotopes with 5 MeV energy at a rate of 10^-16 events per deuteron pair per second, suggesting nuclear reactions can occur at ambient temperatures in deuterium-charged metals. A silicon particle detector placed behind the film detected the charged particles. The method allows rapid deuterium charging of any material, high detection efficiency, low background, and measurement of particle energy and type. Titanium was used because it retains more hydrogen near room temperature than palladium and because prior work had shown neutron emission from titanium.
