Abstract
Systems and methods are described for carrying out fusion reactions by changing the Coulombic energy barrier via Muon Catalyzed Fusion.
Claims11
A system for producing a nuclear fusion product from a fusion of two or more initial nuclei or atoms comprising:
- a cavity having therein a reactant target;
- first means for generating a muon beam in the direction of said reactant target to form in said cavity muon-nuclear fusion product complexes characterized by ionization energy;
- a photon source for generating a photon beam having energy which substantially equals said ionization energy or a submultiple thereof, and being directed into said cavity;
- wherein said cavity is resonant to a wavelength of said photon beam.
