Theoretical studies on solid heterogenous targets thickness in muon catalyzed fusion using transport theory and its comparison with available experimental values

Muon catalyzed fusion in solid heterogeneous H/D/T layers has been studied in recent years. When a negative muon enters the protium layer with a small admixture of tritium, the muonic atom is formed. molecular ion formation is highly dependent on the energy of the muonic tritium atom, μt, and this energy itself depends on the thickness of H/T and D2 layers. In this paper, the transport theory is used to study the effect of the thickness of different layers (H/T and D2) on the output kinetic energy of the μt atom. The calculated thickness by the used theoretical method are compared with the available experimental values and it is shown that they are in a good and acceptable agreement, and represents the reliability of used theoretical method.
