Detailed Description

Muon-catalyzed fusion of \( (dt)_\mu \) molecules.

Fusion channels:

• \( \alpha + \mu + n \)
• \( (\alpha)_\mu + n \)

Warning

This implementation has an incorrect energy and momentum conservation implementation. Acceleron assumes an isotropic direction for both neutron and muon in the \( \alpha + \mu + n \) channel, which leads to the alpha particle either conserving energy or momentum but not both simultaneously. The current implementation results in a roughly correct total energy within \( K_\text{total} = [17.5, 17.9] \) MeV, instead of the expected 17.6 MeV.
