Which outcome occurs when muon-catalyzed fusion is induced?

💡 Explanation

The reduced Coulomb barrier penetration occurs because muons, being much heavier than electrons, bring the nuclei closer together, enhancing "quantum tunneling"; therefore barrier is lowered rather than a direct collision because muon mass affects orbital radius.
