- Abstract
X-ray and neutron measurements were carried out for muon catalyzed fusion and related phenomena in solid T2. The X-ray originated from the μ- to α sticking in muon catalyzed fusion; t + t + μ - → ( μ - α) + 2 n was measured for the first time, yielding K α X-ray intensity of (μα) atom and the intensity ratio of K β to K α . Utilizing the phenomena of 3He accumulation in solid T2, the X-ray in the μ- transfer process from ( tμ) to 3He was detected, providing a formation rate and radiative decay branching-ratio of ( t 3Heμ) molecule. From fusion neutron measurements, estimated values were obtained for ( ttμ) molecular formation rate as well as sticking probability ωt in ttμ fusion. A possible new insight in t + t fusion reaction process at a low energy limit is also obtained.
