These slides were used at JCF25-01 on 2026-03-14. To explain cold fusion in the palladium–deuterium system, I propose a fusion model induced by dislocation annihilation. The macroscopic force accompanying dislocation annihilation enables quasi-static fusion with atomic-scale confinement to overcome Coulomb repulsion, resulting in selective production of the thermally most stable nucleus, 4He. From this model, various properties — such as the (D/Pd) loading effect, the influence of dislocation density and nuclear transmutattion — can be derived not only qualitatively but also quantitatively. Finally, Paneth’s experimental results from the 1920s were reevaluated. The amount of helium predicted by my model strongly suggests that Paneth’s experimental observations were indeed correct as the earliest excellent proof for cold fusion.
