Measurement of the Resonant Molecular Formation Rate in Solid HD
Measurements of muon-catalyzed dt fusion () in solid
HD have been performed. The theory describing the energy dependent resonant
molecular formation rate for the reaction + HD is
compared to experimental results in a pure solid HD target. Constraints on the
rates are inferred through the use of a Monte Carlo model developed
specifically for the experiment. From the time-of- flight analysis of fusion
events in 16 and 37 targets, an average formation rate
consistent with 0.897(0.046) (0.166) times the
theoretical prediction was obtained.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
