Dynamics of the Fusion Reaction in the DT mu(-) System

摘要

A dynamical scheme based on the (td, alpha n) two-channel model is derived for the description of the fusion reaction in the dt mu /sup -/ system. Special attention is paid to the correct specification of the final states. Several possibilities are pointed out for the systematic improvement of the sudden approximation for the sticking coefficient. It seems to be useful to outline a general formulation of these processes which would allow a clear comparison of existing approaches. The lack of satisfactory agreement between experimental and theoretical values of the sticking coefficient is a further argument in favor of the program. (R.P.) 10 refs. (Atomindex citation 20:017353)
