Low-energy scattering of muonic hydrogen on helium and lithium nuclei

  • 1. Leningrad Nuclear Physics Inst., Gatchina (USSR)

Description

The energy dependence of the formation rates of the hydrogen-helium and hydrogen-lithium mesomolecules and the elastic cross sections for the scattering of muonic hydrogen on helium and lithium are calculated. The Ramsauer-Townsend effect is predicted for the elastic scattering. The elastic cross section for the tμ atom attains the magnitude of the atomic dimensions. The electron screening effect is shown to be essential for the elastic scattering. (author)
