چکیده

The state of the art and the recent progress made in dpt fusion is shortly reviewed. Experiments demonstrated 100 to 150 dt fusions per muon. The most reliable value for dt sticking is * 0.5?10. This sets a natural limit to the possible fusion output with pCF to 200 per muon. In energy applications, the concept of Yu. Petrovs pCF hybrid reactor is sketched. There are prospects for using pCF for intense neutron sources to be used for materials testing of future hot fusion reactors and for applications in element transmutation.

 In this paper the cycle of muon catalyzed fusion processes has been simulated using Monte-Carlo methods. This simulation starts when muon enters the D/T mixture and follows the actual trajectories of the muonic atoms among the proceeding collisions, by using their cross sections. For this purpose a computer code has been written by Fortran language. The time dependence of the processes is take...

Observation of unexpected density effects in muon-catalyzed d-t fusion.

Ne~ experimental results on muon-catalyzed d-t fusion are reported. Unexpected target-density effects have been discovered both in dt p, molecular formation in t p, + 02 collisions and in the effective sticking probability. The dt p. formation rate is significantly enhanced at high density, presumably because of a strong three-body contribution. The origin of the observed reduction of the stick...
