Abstract
The addition of micelles to solutions of solutes in water with which muonium reacts cause a wide variety of effects. Micelle-induced enhancement ratios have been found to vary from less than 1 to greater than 104, depending on the properties of the solute and the type of chemical reaction involved. A kinetic analysis is presented here that seems appropriate for most of the mixtures studied so far. These are nonhomogeneous systems, with separate phases involved, but the effects do not arise simply from confined diffusion because the mean residence time of muonium is only 2 ns. The possibility that the largest enhancements arise from quantum mechanical tunneling, and therefore peculiar to muonium, cannot be ruled out.
