Resonances in Muon Transfer from Muonic Hydrogen to Oxygen and Neon

摘要

The influence of resonances on the muon transfer processes from muonic hydrogen to oxygen and neon (pμ)_(1s) + O~(8+) → p + (μO)_(nl)~(7+) and (pμ)_(1s) + Ne~(10+) → p + (μNe)_(nl)~(9+) is considered using the Smith lifetime matrix formalism. It is shown that the existence of a long lived resonance in the case of Ne induces a stronger dependence on collision energy of the muon transfer cross-section for this system.
