The rate of nuclear muon capture by the proton has been measured using a new technique based on time projection chamber operating in ultraclean, deuterium-depleted hydrogen gas, which is key to avoiding uncertainties from muonic molecule formation. hyperfine singlet ground state μp atom was obtained difference between μ− disappearance and world average for μ+ decay rate, yielding ΛS=725.0±17.4 s−1, induced pseudoscalar coupling nucleon, gP(q2=−0.88m2μ)=7.3±1.1, extracted.Received 16 April...
The MuCap experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute has measured rate L_S of muon capture from singlet state muonic hydrogen atom to a precision 1%. A beam was stopped in time projection chamber filled with 10-bar, ultra-pure gas. Cylindrical wire chambers and segmented scintillator barrel detected electrons decay. is determined difference between mu- disappearance free decay rate. result based on analysis 1.2 10^10 decays, which we extract = (714.9 +- 5.4(stat) 5.1(syst)) s^-1 derive...
Isotopic purification of the protium and deuterium is an important requirement many physics experiments. A cryogenic facility for high-efficiency separation hydrogen isotopes with a distillation column as main element described. The instrument portable, so that it can be used at experimental site. It was designed built Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, Gatchina, Russia. Fundamental operating parameters have been measured including liquid holdup in packing, pressure drops across purity...
Background: The rate \lambda_pp\mu\ characterizes the formation of pp\mu\ molecules in collisions muonic p\mu\ atoms with hydrogen. In measurements basic weak muon capture reaction on proton to determine pseudoscalar coupling g_P, occurs from both atomic and molecular states. Thus knowledge is required for a correct interpretation these experiments. Purpose: Recently MuCap experiment has measured \Lambda_S singlet atom, employing low density active target suppress (PRL 110, 12504 (2013))....
The preservation of the nuclear polarization hydrogen atoms during recombination to molecules was observed on different surface materials in temperature range from 45 100 K and for magnetic fields up 1 T. On a gold fused quartz surface, expected molecular about 50% or lower atomic measured, while layer perfluoropolyether (Fomblin) shows nearly complete (at least 97%) process. Further experiments have possibility storing polarized deuterium use them nuclear-fusion installations. Another...
Lamb-shift polarimeters are used to measure the nuclear polarization of protons and deuterons at energies a few keV. In combination with an ionizer, hydrogen deuterium atoms was determined after taking into account loss during ionization process. The present work shows that or molecules can be measured as well, by ionizing injecting \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\begin{document}$H_2^+$\end{document}H2+ (or \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\begin{document}$D_2^+$\end{document}D2+) ions polarimeter.
We propose to use an internal polarized hydrogen storage cell gas target in the AD ring determine for first time two total spin-dependent pbar-p cross sections sigma_1 and sigma_2 at antiproton beam energies range from 50 450 MeV.

In addition, measurements polarization buildup stored antiprotons...
We present an experiment to measure the spin-correlation coefficients for double-polarized deuteron-fusion in energy range of 10–100 keV determine quintet suppression factor. The setup and future upgrade plans are described. possible gain thermonuclear fusion reactors is discussed as well.

Polarized atomic beam sources have been in operation for many years to produce either nuclear polarized hydrogen or deuterium beams. In recent experiments, such a source was used polarize both isotopes independently at the same time. By recombination of atoms, hydrogen-deuterium molecules with all possible spin combinations can be created. Those isomers are useful further applications, like precision spectroscopy, as targets laser-particle acceleration, fuel fusion reactors, an option future...
