MUON CATALYZED FUSION DYNAMICS IN SOLID HETEROGENEOUS H/D/T MIXTURE AND ITS COMPARISON WITH SOLID HOMOGENEOUS D/T SYSTEM

Abstract

The Ramsauer–Townsend effect in hydrogen is used to force the muonic tritium in suggested heterogeneous solid hydrogen–deuterium–tritium (H/D/T) multilayer system to provide resonance muonic deuterium–tritium molecule formation. The written coupled linear point dynamical equations for the suggested system are solved by Monte-Carlo method using "Lsode" computer code. The obtained results for the optimum layer thicknesses and tritium concentration are compared with the results of solid homogeneous deuterium–tritium system in the same physical condition (temperature, density and tritium concentration). It is shown that for the same physical conditions, the muon cycling coefficient of two isotopes of deuterium–tritium (D/T) has only 3% muon cycling coefficient of suggested heterogeneous solid forced H/D/T fusion system. It is shown that with very little tritium concentration (ct = 0.005) the obtained muon cycling rate and coefficient are ~ 120 μs-1 and 165 respectively.
