RCC  MUCATEX
Research Coordinative Center on the Problem of  Muon Catalyzed Fusion and Exotic Quantum Systems

Scope of Activity

MUCATEX is an organization for coordination of research carried out by Russian institutions and individual scientists in Russian and international programs on the problem of the Muon Catalyzed Fusion (mCF) and related studies in atomic, molecular, nuclear, and computational physics.

Main Objectives of MUCATEX

• to perform research into physics of exotic quantum systems related to muon catalyzed fusion;
• to use mCF  for fundamental research in atomic, molecular, nuclear and weak interaction physics;
• to assist in the development of mCF applications: intense neutron source, mCF-driven nuclear breeding and energy production, nuclear waste incineration;
• to create new algorithms and software for solving various problems in quantum physics;
• to create the database in muon catalyzed fusion and exotic quantum systems;
• to promote the exchange of scientific information, scientists and experts. 

MUCATEX Structure

MUCATEX is a public organization working in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and its own Charter. It is established by RRC "Kurchatov Institute" and works under supervision of Russian Academy of Sciences.

MUCATEX is ruled by the Director and the International Scientific Board. R&D performed by MUCTEX are carried out in the wide Collaboration of Russian and foreign institutes.
