Abstract

We present new theoretical calculations of nuclear fusion rates λ J f from the resonant states of the muonic molecular ion 3Hedμ ++ with total angular momenta J=0,1. As a byproduct, new very accurate variational wave functions for these states have been obtained. Using these wave functions, the probability density |Ψ(R=0)|2 in a fusion region has been calculated by extrapolating the variational solution to small internuclear distances by means of the multi-channel adiabatic solution. Calculated fusion rates for the states J=0 and J=1 are: λ 0 f =1.9·105s-1 and λ 1 f =0.65·103s-1, respectively.
