Another reason -- if muons were being generated, you'd get muon catalyzed fusion, and muon catalyzed fusion has all of the normal branching ratios (e.g., for dd fusion, you'd get equal parts neutrons and tritium).

I have not yet looked closely at Holmlid's results, but I don't write them off. I'm keeping a distinction in my mind between his experimental observations and his theoretical speculations. Eric
