Muon Catalyzed Fusion: How Does It Work?

[AbsoluteZer0]

Hi,

I came across Muon Catalyzed Fusion while on my physics-researching rampage. How does $\mu$cf take place? Is it that the muon that replaces the electron draws in other nuclei? Does it have anything to do with electronegativity?

Thanks,
