Scientific paper

Muon-catalyzed fusion was first observed in the pdμ system, and remains a good test of our understanding of the underlying molecular and nuclear processes. In contrast to the ddμ and dtμ systems, no resonant behavior is expected, which considerably simplifies the dynamics. We will discuss data taken with solid H-D mixtures of 0.05%, 2%, 15% and 75% D2. In these measurements we observed simultaneously muons from pdμ→μ+ 3He and γs from pdμ→μ 3He + γ. A simulation code incorporating the relevant physics processes has been developed for the analysis of this data. Preliminary results are presented for the fusion and molecular formation rates. This new data stringently tests the currently-accepted fusion scheme. A new value of the astrophysical S-factor is derived.
