Abstract We report the results of an analysis of time and energy distributions of fusion products obtained in experiments on dtµ-fusion of HD molecules in triple H/D/T mixtures performed in Gatchina in 1985 and at PSI in 1989–92 with a high-pressure ionization chamber and neutron detectors. With different concentrations of tritium, 2.7 and 0.05%, it was possible to evaluate the rate of dtµ formation from the spin statesF=0 andF=1 of tµ atoms. The combined analysis of these experiments provided information about the contribution of epithermal dtµ formation to the initial part of the time spectra, which depends on the ratio of the exchange rates (λpt/λpd)eff ·c t/c d=(λpt/λpd+b)·c t/c d, whereb is the fraction of the fast muon dt-exchange at high energy of dµ atoms
