Influence of epithermal muonic molecule formation on kinetics of the CF processes in deuterium
The non-resonant formation of molecules in the loosely bound state in
collisions of non-thermalized atoms with deuterium molecules D has
been considered. The process of such a type is possible only for collision
energies exceeded the ionization potential of D. The calculated rates of
formation in the above-threshold energy region are about one order of
magnitude higher than obtained earlier.
The role of epithermal non-resonant -molecule formation for the kinetics
of CF processes in D gas was studied. It was shown that the
non-resonant formation by atoms accelerated during the cascade
can be directly observed in the neutron time spectra at very short initial
times.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, Proceedings of the International Conference on
