Muon-catalyzed fusion in "warm-fusion"

Abstract

In this paper formulate the hypothesis that in a molecule $D_{2}O$ (in a cluster of heavy water $(D_{2}O{)}_N)$ when its specific energy is of the order of 150 eV one of the molecular bonds $O-D$ is changed into $O-D_{\mu }$ i.e. a molecule $D_{2}O$ transforms into a muonic molecule. This postulate is necessary to explain the experiment which was carried out in Brookhaven National Laboratory (USA).
