Probability of Muon Sticking to Helium in the Muon Catalyzed Fusion dt mu -> mu sup 4 He + n

摘要

In the sudden perturbation approximation the probability of sticking the muon to helium omega sub(s)sup(0) is found to equal 0.848 x 10 sup 2 in the dt mu -> mu d+n reaction. The accurate wave functions of mesic molecule dt mu obtained in the adiabatic representation of the three-body problem have been used. The sudden approximation does not exceed 3%. In view of a subsequent shaking-off of muons during deceleration of mu a the resulting sticking probability omega sub(s) equals 0.58 x 10 sup 2 . (Atomindex citation 17:014055)
