1. Introduction

The main task of science is to analyze and describe natural phenomena, in order to build cause-effect relations and to be able to predict these phenomena.

LENR is at the moment one of the most poorly studied branches of physics. The history of the discovery of this phenomenon is well described in the Russian newspaper article AIF (Translation):

This review article is dedicated to practical works carried out by scientists and physicists dealing with transmutation of chemical elements.

2. Experimental data

Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann (+ O'Grady)

They are believed to be the first who discovered the phenomenon of energy release during Palladium Heavy-Water Electrolysis. They were the first to suggest that anomalous heat release is a result of an unknown nuclear reaction.
Original article

A study of the palladium used in the Fleischmann and Pons experiments, carried out by D.G. Rollison and K.A. O'Grady in the US Navy Laboratory

J. Dash, professor at Portland State University

Professor Dash carried out experiments with LENR since 1993, at Portland State University. He is author of dozens of papers and articles on LENR experiments.
This is one of his last papers that he presented in Sochi, Russia.

Yoshiaki Arata, Osaka University

Yoshiaki Arata is a famous and well-known physicist, Honored Professor at Osaka University. In the spring of 2008, in the presence of many journalists he carried out a very spectacular experiment. In front of the amazed crowd, he demonstrated energy release and helium formation, which defied the basic laws of physics. For these results the japanese physicist was awarded the Imperial Prize "For the invaluable contribution to science and technology", which is valued in Japan above the Nobel Prize. These results were reproduced by Akito Takahashi's group and subsequently by many others, including Akira Kitamura.

George Ohsawa and Maninder Lal Singh's verification

G. Ohsawa is a philosopher and naturalist from Japan. He lived in Europe and carried out experiments until the mid-60's. He discovered an anomalous occurrence of iron in a discharge arc between carbon electrodes in water.
Maninder Lal Singh, Ph.D in Engineering at Guru Nanak Dev University verified the phenomenon.

Yasuhiro Iwamura

Doctor of Engineering. He carried out experiments at the Nuclear Energy Systems Division of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Having the access to the vast resources of MHI, he carried out a series of impeccable experiments. The results not only convinced numerous skeptics and brought up the discussion topic to the highest level, but also provided the most important application of LENR - deactivation of radioactive waste. His experiments were repeated many times by other groups, including the Toyota company.
