Description
A series of experiments is in progress to determine the initial sticking coefficient ω0 of muon catalysed fusion in low density D2-T2 gas mixtures. α μ-neutron coincidence and neutron singles from fusions have been observed at gas pressures of 502, 755 and 1509 Torr in a first beam period. We found ω0 < 2.1 % (90 % conf.) at 2.2 x 10-3 LHD. No proof of epithermal meso-molecule formation was found. (author)
