Abstract

This work is devoted to the correct interpretation of the steady state parameters of the muon catalyzed fusion (MCF) process in a D/T mixture. Previously the influence of the epithermal effects dtμ-molecule formation by ‘hot,’ non-thermalyzed tμ-atoms) on the steady state parameters was studied only for measurements with a low-density target (density φ = 0.01 relative to the liquid hydrogen density). We suggest a new method allowing direct determination of the necessary corrections to the MCF cycling rate for high-density data (φ ≥ 0.4).
