ON THE POSSIBLE EFFICIENCY OF THE CATALYSIS OF NUCLEAR REACTIONS BY MESONS

Journal Article · · Soviet Phys. JETP
OSTI ID:4322614
There is experimental evidence of the ability of negative mesons to catalyze a nuclear reaction between two singly charged ions (p, d, t) by bringing the reacting nuclei closer together. The probability of binding was calculated by a method developed by Migdal (Zhur. Eksptl'. i Teoret. Fiz. 9, ized during beta decay. It is shown that mesons (or heavier mesons) will not be stripped from the helium nucleus by electron collisions. The probability that a meson enters an excited state near the helium nucleus is small compared with the probability that it remain in the ground state. (J.S.R.)
