MUONIC MOLECULES IN LIQUID HYDROGEN,
Abstract
The yield and time distribution of 5.5-mev gamma rays from the fusion reaction p d yields He3 gamma. The reaction was catatyzed by muons from the Nevis Synchrocyclotron which were stopped in a target containing high purity liquid hydrogen. A digitron of 30 nsec resolving time was used to study the yield of gamma rays as a function of the time that elapsed between the stopping of a muon and the emission of a gamma ray, and as a function of the deuterium concen tration, which was varied from 1 ppm to 25%. The yield of fusion gamma rays was observed to in crease with increasing deuterium concentration until it reached a saturation value of (14.0 = 2.4)% at 1% concentration. (Author)
