Abstract

Muon catalyzed fusion in a dense triple mixture of hydrogen isotopes was investigated for the first time. The experimental method is based on the registration of neutrons from dtμ fusion by a full absorption detector in 4π geometry. The measurements were performed in H/D/T mixture at T=21 K and φ≃ 1.1 LHD using four sets of isotope concentrations. The basic parameters of the dtμ cycle (neutron yield, cycling rate and total sticking) in H/D/T mixtures obtained from neutron time distributions are presented and discussed.
