We model the energy cost of producing muons for use in muon catalyzed fusion and show that by careful design the cost can be reduced by a factor of 2.5 below current values. This is done by recapturing the kinetic energy of waste particles and generating heat through tritium breeding. When put together with the modeling of muon catalyzed fusion we estimate that electrical output/electrical input of 14% can be achieved currently.

用于μ子催化聚变的有效μ子产生的研究

我们对生产用于 μ 催化聚变的 μ 子的能源成本进行建模，并表明通过精心设计，成本可以比当前值降低 2.5 倍。这是通过重新捕获废物颗粒的动能并通过氚育种产生热量来实现的。当与介子催化聚变的建模结合在一起时，我们估计目前可以实现 14% 的电输出/电输入。
