摘要:

氘中的μ子催化聚变传统上是在气体和液体靶中研究的。利用TRIUMF固体氢层靶系统研究了D_2在3 K的固相聚变反应速率。反应的两个不同分支的产物被观察到;中子由液体有机闪烁体,质子由位于靶系统内的硅探测器。测量了$μd$的上超精细态的有效分子形成速率和超精细跃迁速率:$\tildeλ_(3/2)=2.71(7)_{stat.}(32)_{syst.} μ/s$和$\tildeλ_{(3/2)(1/2)} =34.2(8)_{stat.}(1)_{syst.} μ/s$。分子形成速率与最近的其他测量结果一致,但与孤立分子的理论不一致。这种差异可能是由于不完全热化的影响,这是由蒙特卡洛计算研究。提取了s波和p波d+d核相互作用的分支比参数信息。

英文摘要:

Muon catalyzed fusion in deuterium has traditionally been studied in gaseous and liquid targets. The TRIUMF solid-hydrogen-layer target system has been used to study the fusion reaction rates in the solid phase of D_2 at a target temperature of 3 K. Products of two distinct branches of the reaction were observed; neutrons by a liquid organic scintillator, and protons by a silicon detector located inside the target system. The effective molecular formation rate from the upper hyperfine state of $μd$ and the hyperfine transition rate have been measured: $\tildeλ_(3/2)=2.71(7)_{stat.}(32)_{syst.} μ/s$, and $\tildeλ_{(3/2)(1/2)} =34.2(8)_{stat.}(1)_{syst.} μ/s$. The molecular formation rate is consistent with other recent measurements, but not with the theory for isolated molecules. The discrepancy may be due to incomplete thermalization, an effect which was investigated by Monte Carlo calculations. Information on branching ratio parameters for the s and p wave d+d nuclear interaction has been extracted.
