μCF Experiments in D2 and HD Gases – Final Results

During 1994–1996, a series of μCF experiments were performed at PSI by the PSI-PNPI-IMEP-LBNL-TUM collaboration. These experiments aimed at high-precision studies of the d–μ–d fusion in D2 and HD gases in a wide temperature range. The Gatchina ionization time projection chamber has been used to detect the dd-fusion reaction products. The main parameters of the d–μ–d fusion have been measured with high absolute precision. In this report, we present the results of the final analysis of the experimental data. The obtained results are compared with the calculations based on a recent μCF-theory.
