Resonant formation of d&mgr;t molecules in collisions of muonic tritium ( &mgr;t) on D2 was investigated using a beam of &mgr;t atoms, demonstrating a new direct approach in muon catalyzed fusion studies. Strong epithermal resonances in d&mgr;t formation were directly revealed for the first time. From the time-of-flight analysis of 2036+/-116 dt fusion events, a formation rate consistent with 0.73+/-(0.16)(meas)+/-(0.09)(model) times the theoretical prediction was obtained. For the largest peak at a resonance energy of 0.423+/-0.037 eV, this corresponds to a rate of (7.1+/-1.8)x10(9) s(-1), more than an order of magnitude larger than those at low energies.
