Muon catalyzed dd fusion in D-2 and HD gases in the temperature range from 28 to 350 K was investigated in a series of experiments based on a time-projection ionization chamber operating with pure hydrogen. All main observables in this reaction chain were measured with high absolute precision including the resonant and non-resonant dd mu formation rates, the rate for hyperfine transitions in d mu atoms, the branching ratio of the two charge symmetric fusion channels He-3 + n and t + p and the muon sticking probability. The report presents the final analysis of the data together with a comprehensive comparison with calculations based on recent mu CF theories. The energy of the loosely bound dd mu state with quantum numbers J = 1, nu = 1, which is central to the mechanism of resonant molecule formation, is extracted with precision E >(11)(fit) = -1.9651(7) eV. in impressive agreement with the latest theoretical results E >(11)(theory) = -1.9646 eV.
