Yes, and no. I mean D2 goes in forming e.g. PdD, but SIMS analysis turns up some H as well. Then I would need to know the % of the Hydrogen that turned up as H (as opposed to D), and also the purity of the original D2. I'm both looking for evidence of Faux D, and trying to determine what percentage it is of real D. A related question is how is the purity of heavy water determined? >By which mechanism? The primary ions used in SIMS have enough energy to convert most Faux D into H + Hydrino, so an increase in the H content would indicate how much Faux D was present.
