Abstract

Among a series of X-ray experiments on the muon catalyzed fusion (μCF) carried out by using pulsed muons at UTMSL/KEK, a direct knowledge of α-sticking probability (ω s) in μCF of high density D-T mixture with high T concentration has been obtained by measuring a characteristic muonic X-ray from the (αμ) atoms (central energy of 8.2 keV with a correct Doppler broadening). Combining with the recent X-ray measurements in (dμ) to3He and4He impurities, new insight is now obtained for the detailed background structure in the X-ray spectrum, suggesting the future direction for the X-ray measurements.
