Experimental Investigation of Muon-catalyzed dt Fusion in Wide Ranges of D/T Mixture Conditions ¶

A vast program of the experimental investigation of muon-catalyzed dt fusion was performed on the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research phasotron. Parameters of the dt cycle were obtained in a wide range of the D/T mixture conditions: temperatures of 20-800 K, densities of 0.2-1.2 of the liquid hydrogen density (LHD), and tritium concentrations of 15-86%. In this paper, the results obtained are summarized. © 2005 Ple- iades Publishing, Inc.
