| Abstract: | X-ray and neutron measurements were carried out for muon catalyzed fusion and related phenomena in solid T2. The X-ray originated from the μ- to α sticking in muon catalyzed fusion; t + t + μ
-
→ (μ
-
α) + 2n was measured for the first time, yielding K
α
X-ray intensity of (μα) atom and the intensity ratio of K
β
to K
α
. Utilizing the phenomena of 3He accumulation in solid T2, the X-ray in the μ- transfer process from (tμ) to 3He was detected, providing a formation rate and radiative decay branching-ratio of (t
3Heμ) molecule. From fusion neutron measurements, estimated values were obtained for (ttμ) molecular formation rate as well as sticking probability ωt in ttμ fusion. A possible new insight in t + t fusion reaction process at a low energy limit is also obtained.
