muon-catalyzed fusion [¦myü‚än ‚kad·ə¦līzd ′fyü·zhən] (nuclear physics) Nuclear fusion that occurs quickly at normal temperatures when the reacting nuclei are bound in an exotic molecule, containing in addition a positively charged muon.

| But if Fleischmann's and Pons' version of "cold fusion" isn't just "a horrible chain of misinterpretations and accidents" -- which Fleischmann acknowledged as a possibility in an interview with SCIENCE NEWS -- even this so-called muon-catalyzed fusion may join the ranks of good ideas put to rest by better ones. Raising the temperature and manipulatingthe density and proportions of the fuel mix seem to be able to enhance the efficiency, but above a certain temperature the resonance disappears, and so, says Jones, "You can't make a bomb with muon-catalyzed fusion. |
