Participants in the Workshop

The keynote speakers at the meeting were Martin Fleischmann, Steven Jones, and Bart Czirr, Jones' colleague who was his expert on neutron detection. I have no list of the invited participants, but I have been able to identify most of them from the recording.

Workshop Agenda

Zichichi announced the agenda in the morning. I edited it to reflect how the day actually progressed.

Part 1 — Plenary Talks (Fleischmann, Czirr, Jones)
Part 2 — Status of New Experiments (Broer, Hahn, Ziegler, Celani)
Part 3 — Questions Raised by the Experiments (Garwin)
Part 4 — What Kind of Critical Experiments Can Be Done? (Ponomarev)
Part 5 — Theoretical Speculations (Koonin, Benedek)
Part 6 — What Kind of Fusion Reactions Can Provide Energy Without Emission of Neutrons and Particles? (Wilkinson, Maiani)
Part 7 — Non-Fusion Explanations for Source of Heat (Ho)
Part 8 — Ancient History of Palladium-Catalyzed Fusion (Gerischer)
