Abstract: The vast majority of muon catalyzed fusion research has been concerned with muonic molecules of hydrogen isotopes only, since the dynamics of higher-Z muonic atoms in general preclude the formation of molecular systems. In the specific case of hydrogen-helium mixtures, bound muonic molecular states can exist, and thus it is possible to search for the reactionUntil recently, the theoretical predictions for the nuclear fusion rate in the µd 3 He molecule, λf , ranged over one order of magnitude, from 10 5 to 10 … Show more

“…The so obtained value still needs to be corrected for the difference in positions between the germanium and the Si(dE − E) detectors with respect to the muon stop distribution along the incident muon beam. The final value for the total muon decay electron detection efficiency of the four electron counters found from the analysis of Run II is ε e = 16.4 ± 0.22% [27,30].…”

“…The large difference seen in our case between D 2 + 3 He and D 2 + 4 He is therefore partially due to the differing helium concentrations (see Table I). The second observation is that the q He 1s is significantly larger for deuterium, a result of consequence in the case of muon catalyzed fusion in deuterium-helium mixtures [18].…”
