Abstract

Abstract A decade ago it was established that one muon in a deuterium-tritium mixture can catalyse more than 100 nuclear fusion reactions and that this phenomenon could be used for the production of nuclear fuel and energy. This review presents the state of the art of muon catalysed fusion studies and its place among alternative methods of nuclear breeding. The main unsolved problems of muon catalysed fusion and its application in the solution of different problems of nuclear and atomic physics, quantum electrodynamics and computational physics are discussed.
