Muon-catalyzed D-T fusion at low temperature

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

“…Results based on our calculation shown that the muon reactivation increases when the average number of X-rays per sticking reduces with increasing density. Our calculated results are in good agreement with available experimental data (Ishida, Nagamine et al, 1999;Petitjean et al, 1993;Breunlich et al, 1987;Bossy et al, 1987;Jones, Taylor & Andeson, 1993;Nagamine et al, 1993;Ishida et al, 2001;Petitjean, 2001) 0.57 0.07  --- (Markushin, 1988) 0.57 0.36 (Refelski et al,1989) 0.664 0.248 (Takahashi, 1987) 0.59 --- (Cohen, Hale, Hu, 1996) Experimets 0.39 0.10  ---PSI (Bossy et al, 1987) 0.45 0.05  ---PSI (Breunlich et al, 1987) 0.48 0.02 0.04   ---PSI (Petitjean et al, 1993) 0.43 0.05 0.06   ---LAMPF (Jones, Taylor & Andeson, 1993) 0.51 0.004  ---KEK (Nagamine et al, 1993) 0.434 0.030  ---RIKEN-RAL, Liquid (Ishida, Nagamine et al, 1999) 0.421 0.030  RIKEN-RAL, Solid (Ishida, Nagamine et al, 1999) 0.532 0.030  ---RIKEN (Ishida et al, 2001) 1.45 Density LHD  0.551 0.395 Experiment 0.505 0.029  ---PSI (Petitjean, 2001) Table 3.

Can 250+ Fusions Per Muon be Achieved?

“…This result has since been reproduced in experiments at SIN (Switzerland) 7 and KEK (Japan). In summary, a cold (D 2 + T 2 ) target at high density will allow ua to achieve, very fast muon-catalysis cycling rates.…”

Status of muon catalysis of nuclear fusion reactions

“…На рис. 10 изображен временной спектр первых зарегистри рованных нейтронов от реакции синтеза в молекуле в жидкой дейте рий тритиевой смеси при Т=23 К, C t = 0,36, взятый из экспери мента [62,88]. Из этого спектра видно, что временное распределение нейтронов описывается одной экспонентой с показателем на всем экспериментально наблюдаемом интервале времени, т. е. осущест вляется квазистационарный режим.…”
