Effective Muon Losses in the Muon Catalyzed Fusion Cycle in a Double D/T Mixture at High Temperature and Density

Abstract

The effective muon losses w measured in the last experiment of the JINR group with D/T mixture are analyzed. They are considered as a function of the tritium concentration C t taken for different temperatures. The obtained results indicate different muon transfer rates from deuterium and tritium to impurities with Z>1 (λ dZ and λ tZ ) and show that the ratio λ tZ /λ dZ increases with temperature.
