Abstract
Charge-asymmetric deuterium-helium muonic complexes (d mu He) have been stu died. A method is proposed for experimentally determining the rates of nucl ear fusion in the J = 0 and J = 1 states of d mu He molecules (J is the orb ital angular momentum of the system) and the partial rates of the radiative decays of the above complexes in those states. It is suggested that the co rresponding experimental program will be performed at meson factories with gas and cryogenic targets filled with a mixture of deuterium and helium.
