E15-2005-22 In uence of the Epithermal Effects on the MCF Steady StateThis work is devoted to the correct interpretation of the steady-state parameters of the muon catalyzed fusion (MCF) process in a D/T mixture. Previously the in uence of the epithermal effects (dtµ-molecule formation by ®hot¯, non-thermalized tµ atoms) on the steady-state parameters was studied only for measurements with a low-density target (density ϕ = 0.01 relative to the liquid hydrogen density). We suggest a new method allowing direct determination of the necessary corrections to the MCF cycling rate for high-density data (ϕ ≥ 0.4).

Roles of resonant muonic molecule in new kinetics model and muon catalyzed fusion in compressed gas

“…So far the epi-thermal effects have been investigated by Monte-Carlo simulation 64 – 70 and experiments using low-density gas targets 71 . The epi-thermal effects on the steady state of CF at high density ( ) were examined by analyzing the experimental data 72 . At any target conditions, the comparison between the theory and experiments suggested amplification of the dt formation rate by the epi-thermal effects.…”

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

“…This lifetime is amply long for most experiments. Muon catalyzed fusion (μCF) is a physical phenomenon in which the negative muon is able to cause fusion at room temperature and thereby eliminating the need for high temperature plasmas or powerful lasers (Owski, 2007;Imo et al, 2006;Filchenkov et al, 2005;Filipowicz et al, 2008;, 2009Marshal, 2001;Bystritsky et al, 2006, Nagamine et al, 1987Nagamine, 2001;Ponomarev, 2001). In comparison with (μCF), hot fusion schemes are made difficulty by the electrostatic (Coulomb) repulsion between positively charged nuclei.…”

Adiabatic expansion approximation solutions for the three-body problem

“…A negative muon is a lepton of the second generation with mass number about times heavier than that of electrons, and has a finite lifetime of τ µ = 2.197µsec. Nuclear fusion reactions can be catalyzed in a suitable fusion fuel by muons [1][2][3]. Energetic negative Muons, after stopping in a hydrogen isotope H 2 /D 2 /T 2 mixture, fuse with different hydrogen isotopes to form the muonic atoms pµ, dµ and tµ in excited states.…”
