A direct method of determining the alpha-muon sticking coefficient omega <sub>0</sub> following muon-catalysed d-t fusion, by measuring the ratio of ( alpha mu )-neutron coincidences to neutron singles, is described. Initial measurements have used a low-pressure D-T gas target and the pulsed muon beam at the ISIS facility of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and give a preliminary result of omega <sub>0</sub>=0.0069+or-0.0040+or-0.0014(sys).
