Advantages and Limitations of Solid Layer Experiments in Muon Catalyzed Fusion
Since the discovery that muonic deuterium at energies near a few eV could travel distances of the order of 1 mm in condensed hydrogen, and in particular that muonic tritium and muonic deuterium could emerge fr...

Resonant Scattering of Muonic Hydrogen Atoms and Dynamics of the Muonic Molecular Complex
Resonant scattering of muonic hydrogen atoms via back decay of the molecular complex, a key process in the understanding of epithermal muonic molecular formation, is analyzed. The limitations of the effective ...

The Muon Science Facility at the JKJ Project
The muon science facility is one of the experimental arenas of the JKJ project, which was recently approved for construction in a period from 2001 to 2006, as well as neutron science, particle and nuclear phys...

Time-of-Flight Spectroscopy of Muonic Hydrogen Atoms and Molecules
Studies of muonic hydrogen atoms and molecules have been performed traditionally in bulk targets of gas, liquid or solid. At TRIUMF, Canada’s meson facility, we have developed a new type of target system using...

Article
Time-of-flight spectroscopy of muonic tritium
Emission of muonic tritium from a solid hydrogen layer has been studied via imaging of the muon-decay electrons and the time-of-flight distributions have been compared with detailed Monte Carlo calculations. R...

Time-of-flight studies of emission of μt from frozen hydrogen films
In recent TRIUMF experiments, a μ- beam is stopped in a solid hydrogen film with a small fraction of T2. The Ramsauer-Townsend (RT) mechanism allows μt to escape into vacuum with a few eV of energy. To study the ...

Emission of muonic tritium into vacuum: An atomic beam for muon experiments
The emission of muonic tritium atoms from a thin film of hydrogen isotopes into vacuum was observed. The time and position of the muon decays were measured by tracking the decay electron trajectory. The observ...

Muon molecular formation and transfer rate in solid hydrogen-deuterium mixtures
In an experiment at TRIUMF to study muon-catalyzed fusion and associated atomic and molecular effects, negative muons were stopped in a solid protium hydrogen layer containing a small amount of deuterium. Most...

Characterization of solid hydrogen targets
In experiments using the TRIUMF solid hydrogen target system, the knowledge of the target thickness and uniformity is often essential in order to extract physical parameters from the data. We have characterize...

Time-of-flight measurement of resonant molecular formation in muon-catalyzed dt fusion
Preliminary results are reported for an experiment at TRIUMF where a time-of-flight technique was tested for measuring the energy dependence of the rate for muon-catalyzed dt fusion. Muonic tritium atoms were ...

Measurement of muon transfer rate λpt and molecular formation rate λppµ, in solid hydrogen targets, in solid hydrogen targets
The knowledge of muon transfer from protium to tritium is essentially theoretical and the different theoretical values disagree partially. Using solid hydrogen-tritium targets, with different tritium concentra...

Measuring sticking and strip** in muon-catalyzed dt fusion with multilayer thin films
We propose a direct measurement of muon sticking to alpha particles in muon-catalyzed dt fusion at a high density. Exploiting the features of a multilayer thin-film target developed at TRIUMF, the sticking is ...

Muon-catalyzed fusion in deuterium at 3 K
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 phas...

Producing μ−d and μ−t in vacuum
After the feasibility of vacuum isolated μ−d production was demonstrated at TRIUMF in 1989, development was begun on a target system that would take advantage of the process to aid in the understanding of the muo...

Muon transfer from hot muonic hydrogen atoms to neon
A negative muon beam has been directed on adjacent solid layers of hydrogen and neon. Three targets differing by their deuterium concentration were investigated. Muonic hydrogen atoms can drift to the neon lay...

Experiments with energetic μd and μt emitted from solid hydrogen
A set of experiments is reviewed which makes use of the emission of muonic deuterium from the surface of a layer of solid hydrogen. The behaviour of muons in a solid target system has been studied via detectio...

Detection of Hot Muonic Hydrogen Atoms Emitted in Vacuum Using X-Rays
Negative muons are stopped in solid layers of hydrogen and neon. Muonic hydrogen atoms can drift to the neon layer where the muon is immediately transferred. We found that the time structure of the muonic neon...

Hot Muonic Deuterium and Tritium from Cold Targets
Experiments are described which use a solid hydrogen layer to form muonic hydrogen isotopes in vacuum. The method relies on transfer of the muon from protium to either a deuteron or a triton. The resulting muo...

Kicked surface muon beams
The possibility of splitting a surface muon beam into three separate components using an electrostatic kicker is examined. Such a beam seems technically feasible and could be very effectively used to provide m...
