Status of muon catalysis of nuclear fusion reactions

 a,
a National Research Centre ‘Kurchatov Institute’, pl. akad. Kurchatova 1, Moscow, 123182, Russian Federation

The results of research on muon catalysis of nuclear fusion reactions are presented. A new direction is examined--muon catalysis in plasma. Possible applications of muon catalysis are discussed.
