The first measurement of muon catalyzed dt fusion (dtμ→⁴He+n+μ⁻) in solid HD at ~ 3 K has been performed. The theory describing the formation of the [(dtμ)pee] muonic molecule from the resonant reaction tμ+HD → [(dtμ)pee], a key process in the dt fusion cycle, can now be tested against the experimental results. Using an experimental technique which employs solid layers of hydrogen isotopes, the energy of molecular formation is determined via time of flight, and dt fusion time spectra in solid HD have been measured. The theory describing the resonant formation of the dtμ muonic molecule is compared to the experimental results through Monte Carlo simulations. The energy dependent molecular formation rates calculated for HD at 3 K have been employed in the Monte Carlo with the resultant simulated fusion time spectra in fair agreement with the experimental results. / Graduate

The absolute cross section of the reaction D(p,ɣ)³He has been measured in the energy range from 400 Kev to 1100 Kev in the laboratory system. A target of deuterated polyethylene was used to measure the relative yield of the reaction over this range, and the results were normalized to an absolute measurement made with a deuterium gas target. The reaction is of interest because it enables some information to be obtained about the forces binding three nucleons together. It also has some significance in a number of astrophysical processes. In order to determine the cross section, the intrinsic efficiency of a 5 inch by 4 inch sodium iodide crystal scintillation counter was measured by simultaneous alpha particle and gamma ray counting on the 340 Kev resonance of the reaction ¹⁹F(p,[symbol omitted]ɣ)¹⁶0. The intrinsic efficiency of the detector was found to be .679 ± .03 for the 6.14 Mev gamma rays from this reaction, with the particular geometry used. The absolute cross section for the reaction D(p ɣ)³He was found by the gas target measurement to be 2.33 ± .07 microbarns for an incident proton energy of 643 kev. / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate
