Muon catalyzed fusion in deuterium has traditionally been studied in gaseous and liquid targets. The TRIUMF solid-hydrogen-layer target system has been used to study the fusion reaction rates in the solid phase of D_2 at a target…
The possibility that muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion at ambient temperature takes place in deuterated metals is analyzed theoretically. It is suggested that the muon-catalyzed deuterium-deuterium (dd) or deuterium-tritium (dt) fusion rate,…
We report the creation of a confined slow beam of heavy-water (D2O) molecules with a translational temperature around 1 kelvin. This is achieved by filtering slow D2O from a thermal ensemble with inhomogeneous static electric fields…
This report presents the results of an experiment aimed at observation of the muon catalyzed $^3\!He\;d$ fusion reaction $^3\!He + \mu\;d\to^3\!He\;\mu\;d\to^4\!He(3.66MeV)+p(14.64MeV)+\mu$ which might occur after a negative muon stop in…
The probability of nuclear transitions $p+p+{}^{16}{O} \, \rightarrow \, {}^{18}{Ne}\, (4.522,1^-)$ in molecular water is estimated. Due to the practically exact agreement of the energy of the $Ne$ resonance and of the $p+p+{}^{16}{O}$…
A search for the muon catalyzed fusion reaction dd --> ^4He +\gamma in the dd\mu muonic molecule was performed using the experimental \mu CF installation TRITON and NaI(Tl) detectors for \gamma-quanta. The high pressure target filled with…
Muon catalyzed fusion ($\mu$CF) has recently regained considerable research interest owing to several new developments and applications. In this regard, we have performed a comprehensive study of the most important fusion reaction, namely…
Muon-electron conversion in nuclei is considered in the framework of the Dualized Standard Model. The ratio $B_{\mu-e}$ of the conversion rate to the total muon capture rate is derived, and computed for several nuclei in a parameter-free…
The formation of water molecules from the reaction between ozone (O3) and D-atoms is studied experimentally for the first time. Ozone is deposited on non-porous amorphous solid water ice (H2O), and D-atoms are then sent onto the sample held…
The Mu2e collaboration has proposed an experiment to search for the coherent, neutrino-less conversion of a muon into an electron in the Coulomb field of a nucleus with an expected sensitivity of $R_{\mu e}<6.0\times 10^{-17}$, at the 90%…
Understanding the formation of molecules under conditions relevant to interstellar chemistry is fundamental to characterize the chemical evolution of the universe. Using reactive molecular dynamics simulations with model-based or…
A positive muon ($\mu^+$) and an electron ($e^-$) form the the hydrogen-like muonium atom ($M$=$\mu^+ e^-$). Since it consists of two leptonic particles which are according to present knowledge point-like, accurate calculations of its level…
Muon-catalyzed fusion has recently regained significant attention due to experimental and theoretical developments being performed. The present authors [Phys. Rev. C {\bf 109} 054625 (2024)] proposed the tractable $T$-matrix model based on…
The non-resonant formation of $dd\mu$ molecules in the loosely bound state in collisions of non-thermalized $d\mu$ atoms with deuterium molecules D$_2$ has been considered. The process of such a type is possible only for collision energies…
Resonant formation of $d\mu t$ molecules in collisions of muonic tritium ($\mu t$) on D$_2$ was investigated using a beam of $\mu t$ atoms, demonstrating a new direct approach in muon catalyzed fusion studies. Strong epithermal resonances…
In this work, we consider the muonic LiH as a new stage of the $\mu$ catalyzed fusion. We calculate the bound states of the muonic LiH and LiH$^+$ and their wave functions based on the three and four body approximation. In order to solve…
The rate of $dd\mu$ muonic molecule resonant formation in $d\mu$ atom collision with a condensed deuterium target is expressed in terms of a single-particle response function. In particular, $dd\mu$ formation in solid deuterium at low…
The magnetic field generated by a bound muon in heavy muonic atoms results in an induced nuclear magnetic dipole moment even for otherwise spinless nuclei. This dipole moment interacts with the muon, altering the binding energy of the…
We calculated the energy and the size of the three-deuteron muonic molecule (3d 2e^- \mu^-) = D_3 \mu. It turns out that this system possesses two equilibrium positions, one at distances typical for muonic molecules and a second one at the…
The present study experimentally demonstrated that solid H2O is formed through the surface reaction OH + H2 at 10 K. This is the first experimental evidence of solid H2O formation using hydrogen in its molecular form at temperatures as low…
