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.

No references found			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. Fusion claim electrifies scientists by Amato, Ivan / Science News 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.
