Fusion rates from resonant states oftdμ

The structure of the continuous spectrum of the muonic molecular ion tdμ has been investigated. We have calculated the energies, lifetimes, geometries, and fusion rates of several resonances having angular momentum J=0 in the neighborhood of the (tμ${)}_{2\mathit{S}}$ threshold. The significance of these states for muon-catalyzed fusion under high-temperature conditions is discussed.
