Abstract
Muon catalyzed fusion in a dense triple mixture of hydrogen isotopes was in vestigated for the first time. The experimental method is based on the regi stration of neutrons from dt mu fusion by a full absorption detector in 4 p i geometry. The measurements were performed in H/D/T mixture at T = 21 K an d phi similar or equal to 1.1 LHD using four sets of isotope concentrations . The basic parameters of the dt mu cycle (neutron yield, cycling rate and total sticking) in H/D/T mixtures obtained from neutron time distributions are presented and discussed.
