Abstract
Recently, the muonic three-body systemdtμ, has aroused considerable attention in relation to the realization of a useful muon-catalyzed fusion [1, 2]. This bound system must be solved up to 6 digits in energy to establish the muon catalyzed fusion process. We applied the ATMS method [3] and the coupled-channel method [4] to the Coulomb three-body system and obtained the detailed information on the energy levels and the wave functions of the bound states. Further we investigated the effect of the nuclear interaction on the fusion rate in the bound states [5] and developed a formalism to calculate the muon sticking to4He [6]. In this paper we report the results obtained in our collaborations: Figure 2 shows up our main results.
