Muon losses in deuterium-tritium muon-catalyzed fusion due to fast transfer reactions to helium nuclei
Abstract
The results obtained at low density on the fast muon transfer from excited levels of μd muonic atoms to 4He are discussed. The significant muon losses which fast transfer processes to 4He nuclei may induce in a high-density deuterium-tritium target used for muon-catalyzed fusion are considered.
