Abstract Slow μ− production via dd-μCF using a two-layer arrangement is investigated. To determine its feasibility, experimental measurements are now in progress using the muonic X-ray detection method. The following experimental steps are being considered: (1) measurement of the number of μ− stopped inside a solid H2/D2 layer by detecting pμ Kα X-rays, (2) “hot” dμ emission detection by placing a secondary target at a distance of 10–30 mm from the layer and by detecting specific delayed X-rays, (3) measurement of the disappearance of dμ emission as the added D2 layer is increased, (4) dd-μCF measurement by detecting fusion protons, and (5) slow μ− emission detection. Results of the initial test experiment are presented.
