I've seen references to charged particle tracks, but not neuts.
Tho I certainly may have missed things. Detailed LENR info is Richard Hull's baby (frequent cognisenti poster at fusor.net).

The very bottom of the link, in the slides section, they're attributing
some traces to neutrons. I wonder why they can't measure them outside
the electrolytic cell? It makes sense that they can't measure Alphas or Betas.
To bad this all has to be investigated either in electrolytic cells or high pressure D2 atmospheres. Detecting and characterizing charged particles or very low energy neutrons in these environments is all the more difficult.

When I stopped following cold fusion, there was a minor scandal of experiments claiming repeatable excess energy but not clearly measuring all forms of assumed energy out.
I read some of the papers at LENR-CANR about 2 years ago or so, when the SPAWAR results were announced. Due to storage space limitations, the detail knowledge you want is no longer present in my wetware's DRAM.
How old is your cited scandal?

The specific scandal was an assumption that X amount of the electric energy input was consumed in electrolysis, but energy content in the gases released wasn't properly measured. Supposedly a very common procedural problem in experiments from the time claiming excess energy.
