Abstract

A search for the muon catalyzed fusion reaction dd --> 4He +γin the ddμmuonic molecule was performed using the experimental μCF installation TRITON and NaI(Tl) detectors for γ-quanta. The high pressure target filled with deuterium at temperatures from 85 K to 800 K was exposed to the negative muon beam of the JINR phasotron to detect γ-quanta with energy 23.8 MeV. The first experimental estimation for the yield of the radiative deuteron capture from the ddμstate J=1 was obtained at the level nγ≤ 2× 10-5 per one fusion.
