Muonic x-ray measurement on the. mu. /sup -/ sticking probability for muon catalyzed fusion in liquid d-t mixture
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6265865
A measurement was made for x-rays from muonic (..mu../sup -4/He) atoms in order to obtain the ..mu../sup -/ sticking probability for /sup 4/He following muon catalyzed fusion (..mu..CF) in a liquid d-t mixture with a high T/sub 2/ fraction (30%). Pulsed muon beam was successfully applied to suppress the radiation background due to tritium beta decay. Combined with the neutron time spectrum data, a weak K/sub ..cap alpha../ x-ray peak intensity was converted into an upper limit of the sticking probability of 0.40% with the assumed probability of 25% for excited state formation in muonic (..mu../sup 4/He) atoms after ..mu..CF.
