A muon (
) having 207 times larger mass of electron and the same charge as the electron has been known to catalyze a nuclear fusion (CF) between deuteron (d) and triton (t). In this work, we have solved simultaneous reaction rate equations by the 4th-order Runge-Kutta method for the jointed CF cycles in the two layers (H
/D and D/T). The T concentration to maximize the intensities of fusion neutrons and muons emitted to the vacuum will be discussed.

A muonic molecule which consists of muon and two hydrogen isotope nuclei (deuteron (d) or tritium (t)) decays immediately via nuclear fusion (
CF) and the muon will be released as a recycling muon. We attempted to use these muons to develop the scanning muon microscope. In this work, we will report the detection of neutron which emits during the CF reaction.

Muon catalized fusion (CF) is expected to be a high-quality muon beam source for undestructive measurement and a monoenergetic neutron source. In this work, we attemped to observe a released muon after intermolecular nuclear reaction using muonic X-ray.

To observe a kinetic energy distribution of a recycling muon emitted after CF reaction, it is necessary to guide the recycling muons to a detector. In this work, we simulated the muon transportation using PHITS code and designed an experimental system.

The recycling muon emitted after the muon catalized fusion (CF) has a kinetic energy between a few keV to 10 keV. To observed the kinetic energy distribution of the recycling muon, we have to guide and inject muons to Ti foil, and measure the muonic X-ray. In this work, we utilized SIMION code to calculate the electric field and the trajectory of muons from deuteron target to Ti foil.

To detect a recycling muon emitted after muon catalyzed fusion reaction, it is necessary to guide the recycling muons from the target to a detector in a low background area. In this work, we simulated the muon transportation using SIMONS and PHITS codes and designed an experimental system.

A muon is one of elementary particles which is known to weight 207 times more than an electron. A nuclear fusion reaction occurs in a muonic molecule which consists of two hydrogen isotope nuclei and a muon because the muon binds more tightly than electron. Since the muon does not directly participate in the fusion reaction, the reaction is called muon catalyzed fusion (CF). The muon released after the reaction is called a "recycling muon", and maintains the molecular orbital information when the muonic molecule formed. Therefore, information of the muon wavefunction can be investigated by observing the energy distribution of the recycling muon. We will report the experimental setup for measuring the energy distribution of the recycling muons after the nuclear reaction.

We are developing an experimental system to measure the kinetic energy distribution of regenerated muons emitted after muon catalytic nuclear reactions. The trajectory of the regenerated muon emitted from a solid hydrogen target, and the transport efficiency of the regenerated muon and its dependence on the emitted position are calculated/discussed using SIMION code.
