Abstract:

 

Muon-catalyzed fusion is a very efficient nuclear fusion method to which a   wide variety of experimental and theoretical studies have been devoted in   recent years. The mixtures of hydrogen isotopes are the most appropriate   particles to do this kind of fusion. The efficiency of muon-catalyzed fusion   in mixtures of pure deuterium is due to the abundance of this isotope as   compared to other hydrogen isotopes. The most important issue of reducing   the efficiency of the muon-catalyzed fusion chain in pure deuterium mixtures   is the probability of muons sticking to the helium-3 particle produced after   the d−dd−dd-d nuclear fusion reaction. In this investigation, the density dependence   of the slowing down, muon stripping, and effective sticking in pure   deuterium fuel are presented by considering all possible effective processes   and solving a set of coupled differential equations. The results show that   our calculated values are in agreement with available experimental and   theoretical data.
