Abstract

In this paper formulate the hypothesis that in a molecule D₂ O (in a cluster of heavy water (D₂ O)_N) when its specific energy is of the order of 150 eV one of the molecular bonds O - D is changed into O - D_μ i.e. a molecule D₂ O transforms into a muonic molecule. This postulate is necessary to explain the experiment which was carried out in Brookhaven National Laboratory (USA).
