It is needed to increase Pulsotron efficiency about 10-20%. One way could be add muons.
I have read that muon fusion is not feasible due it is needed more energy than released as long as it is needed 150-500MeV to generate them but some of them escapes with alphas.
As long as I can compress plasma using Pulsotrons, I could add a third tube to generate muons.
Would be useful to compress p+D plasma and adding muons to obtain more MeV than injected?
I don't think that this is very feasable, because muons just have a larger cross section due to their higher mass, which increases their "radius" (classically speaking) in which they circle around the core.
However, they are very hard to produce and to dock to "normal" atoms.
Apparently,muons injected right away according to your proposal could catalyse some fusion processes which quantitatively are strongly temperarture and density dependent.However,the experiments would remain at a 'Toy' level remaining from the energy breakeven bull-park.
