Muonium/muonic hydrogen formation in atomic hydrogen

摘要

The muonium/muonic hydrogen atom formation in μ~(+-)-H collisions is investigated, using a two-state approximation in a time dependent formalism. It is found that muonium cross-section results are similar to the cross-section results obtained for positronium formation in e~+-H collision. Muonic hydrogen atom formation cross-sections in μ~--H collision axe found to be significant in a narrow range of energy (5 eV-25 eV).
