The number of muon-catalyzed fusions (MCFs) per one muon increases dramatically in a compressed target to a much higher value than the present observation of 170 in a liquid hydrogen density target; thus, we can obtain a positive gain in MCFs. Furthermore, MCFs deposited on to very small regions in a compressed DT target can initiate high-temperature inertial fusion with a smaller amount of energy than conventional inertial fusion. The anti-proton, which is suitable for space application, produces pions in the annihilation process with a proton, and its decay products, muons, can be used for MCF in space. We discuss the utility of a compressed target to efficiently collect the anti-protons produced by injecting high-energy protons into a nucleus.
