Measurements of muon catalyzed dt fusion in solid HD

The first measurement of muon catalyzed dt fusion (dtμ→⁴He+n+μ⁻) in solid HD at ~ 3 K has been performed. The theory describing the formation of the [(dtμ)pee] muonic molecule from the resonant reaction tμ+HD → [(dtμ)pee], a key process in the dt fusion cycle, can now be tested against the experime...
