Abstract
A recent muon catalysis experiment with a low-density D-T target saw a pronounced transient in the appearance of fusion neutrons. We propose that this transient is due to resonant molecular formation at epithermal energies. This effect is calculated, including the contribution of direct (as opposed to dipole) mesomolecule formation. The direct process is the dominant one, but has not previously been considered. The results agree well with experiment.
