MEASUREMENT OF THE $mu$$sup -$ + He$sup 3$ $Yields$ H$sup 3$ + $nu$ REACTION RATE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4813134
The reaction mu - + He/sup 3/ yields H/sup 3/ + nu was investigated. A magnetic diffusion chamber filled with He/sup 3/at 20 atm was placed in the 217 Mev/c beam of the Dubna 680 Mev synchrocyclotron. Since the tritium produced in the reaction has a definite energy, the problem of idertifying everts of the reactions consists of selecting a group of one-prong stars with the corresponding energy range from the background due to other processes. The reaction rate was determined to be 1.36 plus or minus 0.18 x 10/sup 3/ sec/sup -1/. This agreed with the rate predicted by the universal theory within the accuracy of the experiment. (M.C.G.)
