Abstract

Muons introduced into relatively cold, dense deuterium-tritium mixtures can replace the atomic electrons and form muonic molecules which participate readily in nuclear fusion reactions. Catalysis yields of about 150 fusions per muon have been achieved, renewing interest in muon-catalyzed fusion as a possible source of energy.
