Abstract:	Resonant formation of $dmu t$ molecules in collisions of muonic tritium ($mu t$) on D$_2$ was investigated using a beam of $mu t$ atoms, demonstrating a new direct approach in muon catalyzed fusion studies. Strong epithermal resonances in $dmu t$ formation were directly revealed for the first time. From the time-of-flight analysis of $2036pm 116$ $dt$ fusion events, a formation rate consistent with $0.73pm (0.16)_{meas} pm (0.09)_{model}$ times the theoretical prediction was obtained. For the largest peak at a resonance energy of $0.423 pm 0.037$ eV, this corresponds to a rate of $(7.1 pm 1.8) imes 10^9$ s$^{-1}$, more than an order of magnitude larger than those at low energies.
