Search for muon catalyzed fusion
V. D. Fotev, V. A. Ganzha, K. A. Ivshin +21
This report presents the results of an experiment aimed at observation of the muon catalyzed fusion reaction $^3\!He + μ\;d\to^3\!He\;μ\;d\to^4\!He(3.66MeV)+p(14.64MeV)…
Measurement of the Formation Rate of Muonic Hydrogen Molecules
MuCap Collaboration, V. A. Andreev, T. I. Banks +33
Background: The rate λ_ppμ characterizes the formation of ppμ molecules in collisions of muonic pμ atoms with hydrogen. In measurements of the basic weak muon capture reaction on t…
A high-pressure hydrogen time projection chamber for the MuCap experiment
J. Egger, D. Fahrni, M. Hildebrandt +21
The MuCap experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute performed a high-precision measurement of the rate of the basic electroweak process of nuclear muon capture by the proton, $μ^-…
Measurement of Muon Capture on the Proton to 1% Precision and Determination of the Pseudoscalar Coupling g_P
V. A. Andreev, T. I. Banks, R. M. Carey +32
The MuCap experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute has measured the rate L_S of muon capture from the singlet state of the muonic hydrogen atom to a precision of 1%. A muon beam w…
Muon Capture on the Deuteron -- The MuSun Experiment
V. A. Andreev, R. M. Carey, V. A. Ganzha +28
We propose to measure the rate \Rd\ for muon capture on the deuteron to better than 1.5% precision. This process is the simplest weak interaction process on a nucleus that can both…
A Circulating Hydrogen Ultra-High Purification System for the MuCap Experiment
V. A. Ganzha, P. A. Kravtsov, O. E. Maev +12
The MuCap experiment is a high-precision measurement of the rate for the basic electroweak process of muon capture, mu- + p -> n + nu . The experimental approach is based on an act…
