Study of the nuclear fusion in a muonic dμ3He complex

“…The effective rates of nuclear fusion in the dμ 3 He complex found by us in runs I and II coincide within the measurement errors. This is also true for the d 3 He fusion rates λ J=0 f obtained by equation (35). A comparison of the measured λ J=0 f rate with the theoretical calculations show rather good agreement with [39], a slight discrepancy with references [38,42] and considerable disagreement with references [37,41].…”

“…A comparison of the results in this paper with the experimental results [35] reveals appreciable disagreement. The shortened form of result presentation in [35] does not allow us to discover the cause of this considerable disagreement. But as discussed in Appendix B, the upper limit of λf is, in our mind, appreciably underestimated in the work of Maev et al [35].…”

But as discussed in Appendix B, the upper limit of λf is, in our mind, appreciably underestimated in the work of Maev et al [35]. Another cause of the underestimation might be improper background subtraction procedures since they determined the background level using information from earlier experiments [34] carried out under different conditions at a different type of experimental facility.…”

“…Fewer studies were investigated the nuclear fusion reaction in dμ 3 He experimentally. An upper limit for the fusion reaction (2a) rate, has been found by a Gatchina-PSI collaboration using an ionization chamber [33][34][35]. Another experiment aimed at measuring the effective rate, λf,p , of reaction (2a) was performed by our team [36].…”

Muon capture by3Henuclei followed by proton and deuteron production

“…to which considerable experimental [25,26,27,28,29,30] and theoretical [31,32,33,34,35] studies have been devoted in the past five years. In addition, the study of such systems gives the possibility of verifying fundamental symmetries in strong interactions (such as charge symmetry or isotope invariance) [36,37] and solving some astrophysical problems [38].…”
