This report presents the results of an experiment aimed at observation of the muon catalyzed $^3!He;d$ fusion reaction $^3!He + mu;dto^3!He;mu;dto^4!He(3.66MeV)+p(14.64MeV)+mu$ which might occur after a negative muon stop in the $D_2+^3!He$ gas mixture. The basic element of the experimental setup is a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) which can detect the incoming muons and the products of the fusion reaction. The TPC operated with the $D_2 + ^3~He (5%)$ gas mixture at $31K$ temperature. About $10^8$ $^3!He;mu;d$ molecules were produced with only 2 registered candidates for the muon catalyzed $^3!He;d$ fusion with the expected background $N_{bg}=2.2pm 0.3$ events. This gives an upper limit for the probability of the fusion decay of the $^3!He;mu;d$ molecule $P_{F}(^3!He;mu;d)leq 1.1cdot 10^{-7}$ at 90% C.L. Also presented are the measured formation rate of the $^3!He;mu;d$ molecule $lambda_{d3He}=192(3)cdot 10^6 s^{-1}$ and the probability of the fast muon transfer from the excited to the ground state of the $mu;d$ atom $q_{1S}=0.80(3)$.
Studies of muonic atoms and muon catalyzed fusion have been conventionally done in a bulk target of gas, liquid or solid hydrogen isotopes. The use of thin film targets developed at TRIUMF have notable advantages in tackling some of the most importan
Lochons (local charged bosons or local electron pairs) can form on D+ to give D- (bosonic ions) in Palladium Deuteride in the solid state. Such entities will occur at special sites or in linear channel owing to strong electron-phonon interaction or d
We report on the experimental search for the bound state of an $eta$ meson and $^{3}hspace{-0.03cm}mbox{He}$ nucleus performed using the WASA-at-COSY detector setup. In order to search for the $eta$-mesic nucleus decay, the $pdrightarrow$ $^{3}hspace
We have measured excitation function for dp -> ppp_pi- reaction near the eta production threshold. We observe an enhancement of the counting rate above the threshold which can originate from the production of the eta meson in the reaction dp -> 3He e
The electron-target-asymmetries A_parallel and A_perpendicular with target spin parallel and perpendicular to the momentum transfer q were measured for both the two-- and three-body breakup of 3He in the 3He(e,ep)-reaction. Polarized electrons were s
