Neutron Detection Method in the Study of the Muon Catalysis Process

摘要

The review is devoted to an experimental method for muon catalysis investigation based on the detection of neutrons produced in the negative muon catalyzed fusion reaction. This method has a great advantage over others, because it allows measurements in a wide range of temperature and density of D/T or H/D/T mixtures, which is very important for the full knowledge of the investigated process. This paper is predominantly based on the investigations of the Dubna group, which achieved a high progress in the development of a method concerning both the detector parameters and the new means of analysis.
