Description

This is a survey of new and significant developments which promise to shape the future of muon catalyzed fusion, based on presentations made at the 1988 MuCF workshop. The new ideas about muon production, muon sticking, regeneration and the muomolecular reactions represent steady progress towards understanding of the basic physics of MuCF and reaching towards 1,000 fusions per muon. I will attempt to elucidates the progress made in the theory of MuCF and to illustrate the practical importance of some of the issues raised. In many instances I will follow my personal viewpoint, justifying as much as possible the reasons behind my judgement
