Application of the X-ray laser to muon-catalyzed d-t fusion

摘要

We discuss the alpha-muon sticking coefficient in the muon-catalysed d-tfusion in the framework of the Constrained Molecular Dynamics model. Especiallythe influence of muonic chaotic dynamics on the sticking coefficient is broughtinto focus. The chaotic motion of the muon affects not only the fusion crosssection but also the muon-alpha sticking coefficient. Chaotic systems lead tolar ger enhancements with respect to regular systems because of the reductionof the tunneling region. Moreover they give smaller sticking probabilities thanthose of regular events. By utilizing a characteristic of the chaotic dynamicsone can avoid losing the muon in the muCF cycle. W e propose that theapplication of the so-called microwave ionization of a Rydberg atom to thepresent case could lead to the enhancement of the reactivation process by usingX-rays.
