Abstract:This paper presents the final results of an experimental study of the kinetics of the muon catalysed fusion (MCF) in solid hydrogen-deuterium mixtures (H/D) at a temperature of 3 K. The experiment E742 was carried out on a TRIUMF meson facility in Canada. Four exposures were performed at different deuterium concentrations in the H/D mixture: cd = 0.0005, 0.02, 0.15 and 0.75. A simultaneous analysis of the measured time distributions of the 5.5 MeV γ-quanta and the 5.3 MeV conversion muons obtained from nuclear fusion in the pdμ molecule allowed to extract the values of MCF chain parameters in the H/D mixture: the fusion partial rates for different nuclear spin states of the pdμ molecule, and the pdμ molecule formation rate. The experimental data fitting procedure was conducted in two ways: using solely the analytical formulae describing the kinetics of the MCF processes in the H/D mixture, and the detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the entire experiment. The results obtained by these two methods are consistent with each other and confirm the existence of the Wolfenstein-Gerstein effect.
