Abstract

The effect of low energy resonance of the d-t fusion reaction on the muon sticking factor in muon-catalysed fusion is studied. The sticking factor is formulated using the mu -dt molecular wavefunction and the doorway state wavefunction, which represent the resonance reaction of resonance energy ER=E/sub /r+1 Gamma /sub /r/2. The sticking factor for a large half width Gamma /sub /r/2 is the same as the one without taking into account the nuclear reaction, but for a small half width the sticking factor becomes generally small, except for some cases such as E/sub /r=60 keV and Gamma /sub /r/2=90 keV. The sticking factor calculated with the presently evaluated resonance parameter (E/sub /r=55+or-8 keV, Gamma /sub /r/2=38.6 keV) is 0.1+or-0.01%.
