RUI: Reactions of Muonic Hydrogen Isotopes

9511583 Huber将在介子催化聚变方面进行研究，特别是对不同氢同位素的分子介子-氢-氢体系的形成速率和分子共振的重要性，这些共振极大地促进了分子的形成过程。实验工作将在加拿大的TRIUMF实验室进行。将编写计算机模拟代码并应用于所产生数据的分析。这一领域的研究将促进我们对所涉及的分子过程的理解，有可能将这项技术应用于更精确的量子电动力学测试，量子色动力学的低能量测试，并扩展到用于测试材料的强中子源的未来开发，更有可能的是，用于大规模的能源生产。本科学生的教育是这项资助的中心部分

9511583 Huber Research will be carried out in muon-catalyzed fusion, specifically on the formation rates of molecular muon-hydrogen- hydrogen systems for different isotopes of hydrogen and the importance of molecular resonances which greatly enhance the molecular formation process. Experimental work will be carried out at the TRIUMF laboratory in Canada. A computer simulation code will be written and applied to analysis of the data produced. Research in this areas will advance our understanding of the molecular processes involved, with possible application of this technology to more precise tests of quantum electrodynamics, low energy tests of quantum chromodynamics, and extending to future development of an intense source of neutrons for testing materials and, more speculatively, to large-scale energy production. Education of undergraduate students is a central component of this grant.***
