Abstract	Muon catalyzed fusion (MCF) in deuterium was studied by the MCF collaboration at the JINR phasotron. The measurements were carried out with a high pressure deuterium target in the temperature range 85-790 K at densities \cong 0.5 and 0.8 of liquid hydrogen density (LHD). The first experimental results for the dd\mu-molecule formation rate \lambda_{dd\mu} in the temperature range 400-790 K with deuterium density \cong 0.5 LHD are presented.
