摘要：

A systematic study on muon catalyzed fusion (muCF) was conducted in solid deuterium and tritium (D-T) mixture. A variety of experimental conditions were investigated, i.e., tritium concentrations from 20 to 70%, temperatures from 5 to 16 K. A preliminary analysis result suggests a steep decrease in the dtmu-molecule formation rate with decreasing temperature, and also an increase in the probability for a muon reactivation after an alpha-sticking phenomenon.
