Scientific paper

An alternate approach was used to study the reactions of muonic atoms and molecules in solid layers of hydrogen isotopes. Muons stopped in a protium layer with a small admixture of tritium producing μp atoms. Muon transfer from a proton to a triton generated μt atoms, which were emitted into a deuterium layer. Subsequent epithermal dtμ molecular formation followed by dt fusion gave a prompt signal for the μt emission. Fusion time spectra at various tritium concentrations were measured by detecting neutrons and α particles and the μp disappearance rates were determined. The rates of μp-->μt transfer and ppμ formation were measured to be λpt=[5.86+/-(0.10)stat+/-(0.15)syst(+0.30-0)model]×109 s-1 and λppμ=[3.21 +/-(0.10)stat+/-(0.14)syst(+0-0.06)model(]×106 s-1, respectively. Comparisons are made with the most recent theoretical values.
