Investigation of the Parameters of Muon-Catalyzed Fusion in Double D/T Mixture at High Temperature and Density

Experiments on the study of the muon catalyzed fusion (μCF) process in a double D/T mixture of hydrogen isotopes in the temperature range 300–800 K at densities 0.3–0.5 LHD are performed at the JINR phasotron. The values of the effective μCF parameters (cycling rate λc, neutron yield Yn, muon losses w) are obtained. Tentative dtμ-molecule formation rates on D2 and DT molecules (λdtμ−d and λdtμ−t) are obtained for different mixture temperatures and densities. The results obtained show that λdtμ−t increases with temperature, but its value is smaller than theoretical predictions.
