    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract. We consider the behavior of incompressible two-phase flow in heterogeneous reservoirs with randomly placed heterogeneities ; that is, in media with permeability $A$ and porosity $\Phi$ which are stationary random fields. We assume both Darcy velocity and the diffusion flux being given nonlinear functions of the concentration. Using the tools of stochastic homogenization we get the nonlinear effective equations which govern the flow behavior in a homogeneous medium, being equivalent in the sense of homogenization theory, to the original one. When $\varepsilon$ is small the randomly heterogeneous porous medium behaves like a deterministic medium with effective permeability tensor $A^0$ . It is shown how to calculate the effective permeability tensor $A^0$ by solving auxiliary stochastic problems. Using the rescaling parameter $\varepsilon$ , corresponding to the characteristic scale of heterogeneities, we prove the convergence of the homogenization process for $\varepsilon\rightarrow 0$ . Furthermore, by using regularity results for the nonlinear effective equations we construct the correctors and establish strong convergence.
    Notes: Résumé. On considère le comportement des écoulements diphasiques incompressibles dans un réservoir hétérogène avec les hétérogéneités placées aléatoirement; c'est-à-dire, dans un milieux où la permeabilité $A$ et la porosité $\Phi $ sont des champs aléatoires stochastiquement homogénes. On suppose à la fois que le vecteur flux de diffusion et la vitesse de Darcy sont des fonctions nonlinéaires de la concentration. En utilisant les techniques d'homogénéisation stochastique on obtient à grande échelle des équations nonlinéaires "efficaces" décrivants un écoulement en milieux poreux equivalent à l'écoulement original dans le sens de la théorie de l'homogénéisation. Le milieu poreux aléatoire se comporte à grande échelle comme un milieux deterministe avec un tenseur "efficace" de permeabilité $A^0$ , pour $\varepsilon $ suffisemment petit. Ce tenseur de perméabilité "efficace" est calculé en resolvant des problèmes stochastiques auxilliaires. Lorsque le paramétre $\varepsilon $ , correspondant à l'échelle caractéristique des hétérogèneités, tend vers zero, nous montrons la convergence du processus d'homogénéisation. Finalement, en utilisant des résultats de régularité pour les équations "efficaces" nonlineaires obtenues, nous construisons les correcteurs et démontrons la convergence forte.

    Notes: Abstract The muon transfer rate $$(\tilde \lambda _{d{\text{ }}^{\text{3}} {\text{He}}} )$$ from deuterium to 3 at temperatures of 39.5 K and 50.0 K, respectively, has been determined as a by-product of the experiment aimed to search for muon catalyzed d 3He-fusion. The measurements were performed in the muon beam at PSI with a multi-anode high pressure ionization chamber as a target and detector of the incoming muons and the charged reaction products. The chamber was filled with the HD + 3He(5.6%) gas mixture of 9.21% LHD density. The analysis of time distributions of dd-fusion events was able to determine the transfer rates: $$\tilde \lambda _{d{\text{ }}^{\text{3}} {\text{He}}} $$ (50 K)=(2.32± 0.09)× 108 s-1, $$\tilde \lambda _{d{\text{ }}^{\text{3}} {\text{He}}} $$ (39.5 K)=(2.33± 0.16)·108 s-1. These values, normalized to liquid hydrogen density (LHD, 4.25· 1022 atoms/cm3), significantly exceed the transfer rates at room temperature, in agreement with theoretical predictions.

    Notes: Abstract We present the results of precision measurements of dμ spin-flip rates in pure D2, in pure HD gas, and in the non-equilibrium and equilibrium H2+D2 gas mixtures. The experiments were performed at PSI in 1994-1996 using the high pressure ionization chamber from Gatchina as a 100% efficient detector of the charged fusion products. The measurements have been carried out in the temperature range 28-300 K, at gas density of 5% of LHD. In pure deuterium, the measured temperature dependence of the spin-flip rate allowed us to separate the two components (resonant and non-resonant) of the spin-flip processes. From the experiments in H/D mixtures we have measured the non-resonant spin-flip rate in collisions of dμ-atoms with HD molecules. Comparison with the theory revealed considerable disagreement in the case of non-resonant spin-flip in collisions of the dμ-atoms with D2 molecules.

    Notes: Abstract The results of an experiment on muon catalyzed dd-fussion in HD gas are presented. The experiment was performed at the muon beam of PSI using a high-pressure ionization chamber filled with pure HD-gas of low D2 concentration on the level 1%, at temperatures 50, 150 and 300 K. The non-resonant character of ddμ-molecule formation on HD molecules was confirmed by measuring the ratio of yields of the two ddμ-fusion channels, R=Y(3He,n)/Y(3H,p), which proved to be close to unity. The ddμ formation rate was found to vary from λddμ-HD=0.05· 106 s-1 at T=50 K to λddμ-HD=0.12· 106 s-1 at T=300 K, in agreement with the theoretical prediction. A prominent peak at t〈60 ns was observed in the time spectrum of fusion neutrons indicating a resonant contribution of ddμ formation from epithermal dμ atoms.

    Notes: Abstract We report on the results of an experiment aimed at observing muon-catalyzed d 3He-fusion with a setup previously used for studies of the muon-catalyzed dd-fusion. The basic element of the setup is a high pressure ionization chamber operating as an active target. In this experiment the chamber was filled with an HD + 3He (5.6%) gas mixture at 13.2 bar pressure and 50 K temperature. These conditions were chosen as optimal for formation of the 3Heμd-molecules with a low level of background from the d-μ-d fusion. The chamber was exposed to the negative muon beam at PSI. During a 3-week data-taking period, 9.7 × 108 muon stops have been selected. The analysis of the data was able to determine a new upper limit for the d 3He-fusion rate in the 3Heμd-molecule (λf≤ 6× 104 s-1), which is more than three orders of magnitude lower than the previously existed limit.
