Abstract: | A method for measurement of the muon-catalyzed fusion (μCF) parameters in an H-T mixture is proposed. The kinetics of the μ-atomic and μ-molecular processes preceding the pt reaction in the ptμ molecule is described. Analytical expressions are obtained for the yields and time distributions of γ quanta and conversion muons formed in nuclear fusion reactions in ptμ molecules. It is shown that information on the desired parameters μCF can be found from the joint analysis of the time distributions of γ quanta and conversion muons to be obtained in experiments with the H-T mixture at three (or more) appreciably different atomic concentrations of tritium. The experiments with the H-T mixture at the meson facility PSI (Switzerland) were optimized to gain precise information about the desired μCF parameters. |
