Kozima’s Cold Fusion Research Laboratory was established by Dr. Hideo Kozima, Professor Emeritus at Shizuoka University, in April 1999 with his collaborators mainly graduates of Shizuoka University to promote researches in cold fusion phenomenon (CFP).

Cold Fusion Phenomenon（CFP）means nuclear reactions and accompanying events occurring in solids with high densities of hydrogen isotopes in ambient radiation.

Researches of CFP in CFRL is based on modern physics especially quantum mechanics of solids and nuclei.

A model (the trapped neutron catalyzed fusion (TNCF) model) was proposed based on characteristics of experimental data of CFP and used to analyze more than 60 experimental data sets. Results of these analyses until 1998 were summarized in a book “Discovery of the Cold Fusion Phenomenon – Development of Solid State-Nuclear Physics and the Energy Crisis in the 21^st Century” (1998) Works after the publication of this book are published in papers presented at several Conferences and published in several Journals.

A news letter, The CFRL News, has been published almost monthly to communicate with CF researchers and friends from July of 1999.

The TNCF model (Trapped Neutron Catalyzed Fusion model) is a phenomenological model with a single adjustable parameter that was applied to CFP and given unified explanation for them. Success of the model to give unified explanation of various events in CFP shows the premises assumed in the model have some physical reality.

Recent works in our Laboratory are concentrated in quantum mechanical investigations of the premises assumed in the TNCF model and are giving insight into physics of low energy neutrons in solids with high-density hydrogen isotopes. (Revised on August 14, 2002)
