Abstract

The possibility of enhancement of the muon transfer process between hydrogen isotopes in the field of an intense electromagnetic wave is discussed. The muon transfer cross section between the ground states of deuterium and tritium under laser irradiation is calculated from a semiclassical model. It is shown in this case that the muon transfer cross section is hardly affected, even at the very large laser intensities of the order of 1016 W/cm2.
