The year 2007 is the anniversary for many events in Muon Catalyzed Fusion history: the muon discovery (1937), the prediction of muon catalyzed fusion (1947), the experimental observation of µCF (1957), the experimental discovery of the resonant ddmu formation (1967), the prediction of the high efficiency of µCF in D/T mixtures (1977). That is a reason to organize the meeting "Muon catalyzed fusion and related topics", to present and to discuss the state-of-the-art (past/present/future) of µCF science, including developments of its methods and their applications in the various fields of physics.

The previous meetings were held in USA (Jackson Hole, 1984), Japan (Tokyo, 1986), in USSR (Gatchina, 1987), in USA (Sanibel, 1988), in Great Britain (Oxford, 1989), in Austria (Vienna, 1990), in Sweden (Uppsala, 1992), in Russia (Dubna, 1995), in Switzerland (Ascona, 1998) and in Japan (Shimoda, 2001). This meeting will be hosted by JINR (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna) in co-operation with MUCATEX (Research Coordinative Center on the Problem of Muon Catalyzed Fusion and Exotic Quantum Systems, Moscow).

Conference µCF-07 will be held in Dubna, which is located around 130 km north of Moscow amidst beautiful countryside on the area, surrounded by the Volga, Dubna and Sister rivers and by the Moscow channel.

The conference covers the broad spectrum of research problems, which the µCF community members are involved in now, applying the ideas and methods initiated by or originated from µCF.

Conference topics include:

• Fundamental muon physics (decay, capture, other properties);
• Exotic hydrogen and helium atoms/molecules (cascade, formation, collisions);
• µCF phenomena in mixtures of hydrogen isotopes;
• µCF methods development in physics of exotic (pionic, kaonic, p-bar) atoms/molecules;
• Theory of few body exotic systems;
• Technological applications of muon physics (balk radiography, neutron source, etc.).

The registration fee is 400 Euro for participants, and 150 Euro for accompanying persons. It covers hotel accommodation (including breakfast), Proceedings, transportation from Moscow airport to Dubna and back, coffee breaks, welcome party and social events.
