Abstract: | Calculations of the number of deuterium-tritium fusions a muon might catalyze in temperature and density conditions found
in moderate fuel compressions are examined. Analytic models of muon catalyzed fusion reactions including muon sticking suggest
that a deuterium-tritium fuel target with injected muons achieves an energetically viable number of fusions per muon only
at fuel temperatures less than about 5 eV and fuel densities greater than 100 times LHD. |
