Description
The impact of excited state muon transfer in dμ + H2 collisions has been investigated. The formation of metastable pdμ* molecules and their subsequent decay into the pμ (1s) + d channel opens a transfer channel that is otherwise closed at the n=2 level. This mechanism enlarges the fraction of muons arriving to the ground state of the lighter isotope. The resulting ground state population P1spμ as function of deuterium concentration appears to be in qualitative agreement with recent measurements of the Kα X-ray yield in H2/D2 mixtures
