Experimental detection and investigation of muon catalyzed fusion of deuterium and tritium

Status of muon catalysis of nuclear fusion reactions

“…Очевидно, и сама эффективность также может быть получена исходя из проведенного анализа, что пред ставляет самостоятельный интерес. Этот метод определения мю моле кулярных констант катализа в дейтерии был использован при обработ ке экспериментальных данных, полученных в работе [132] …”

Quantum Mechanical Three-Body Systems and Its Application in Muon Catalyzed Fusion

“…with a rate of 8 2.8 10 dt    (Caffery et al, 1987;Jones et al, 1987;Bystritsky et al, 1980;Breunlich et al, 1987). The muon mass is about 206.77 times larger than the mass of electron.…”

“…The process in which a muonic molecule is formed is the most important step in the μCF. The formation of muonic molecules of hydrogen isotopes and their nuclear reactions have been the subject of many experimental and theoretical studies (Caffery et al, 1987;Jones et al, 1987;Bystritsky et al, 1980). In collisions of t muonic atoms with D 2 and DT molecules, the muonic molecules dt are formed during a time interval Jones et al, 1983;Eliezer & Henis, 1994) according to the following resonance reactions…”

Muon-catalyzed fusion experiment target and detector system. Preliminary design report

“…Figure 1 graphically depicts the proposed range of experimental conditions,. and shows that these complement conditions selected for previous 10 and planned 11 experiments in this field. It has been observed that:…”

“…Table 1 displays some of the physics quantities which we plan to measure during the experiment. Only one experiment to date has investigated muon ~eactions in deuterium-tritium mixtures.- 10 Consequently, a great deal of original research remains to be performed, as shown on Table 1. The planned experiment will be performed using deuterium-tritium targets at elevated densities, temperatures and tritium concentrations. Figure 1 graphically depicts the proposed range of experimental conditions,.…”
