The Yield of γ Quanta from the Reaction of Nuclear Fusion in Muonic Molecules ptμ and pdμ

Publications, 25 November 2021

We offer to your attention a preprint “The Yield of γ Quanta from the Reaction of Nuclear Fusion in Muonic Molecules ptμ and pdμ” Д15-2021-35 published by the JINR Publishing Department. The authors are A. Adamczak et al.

The yield of γ quanta from nuclear fusion reactions proceeding from various spin states of muonic molecules ptμ and pdμ has been measured. The work was performed at the Triton facility at JINR DLNP using a specially designed liquid-tritium target. For the first time, channels of the synthesis reaction with the yield of double γ quanta were observed: ptμ → 4Heμ + γ + γ, pdμ → 3Heμ + γ + γ.

The data obtained for the yield of single γ quanta in the channel of the fusion reaction ptμ → 4Heμ + γ is consistent with earlier research. The partial sticking coefficient of a muon in the channel of pt- and pd-fusion reactions with the yield of single γ quantum was determined experimentally.

The investigation has been performed at the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems.
