Probability of μ--meson stripping when (μHe)+ mesic atoms are stopped in matter

  • 1. Joint Institute for Nuclear Research

Description

The probabilities are calculated of the stripping of μ- mesons from (μHe)+ mesic atoms produced in μ-catalysis of fusion reactions in the mesic molecules dtμ, ttμ, and ddμ are stopped in H2, C, Al, and Au. The effective coefficients omega-tilde of the sticking of the μ- meson to He++, with allowance for the stripping of μ-, are respectively omega-tilde/sub s/ = 0.85 x 10-2, 0.05< or =omega-tilde/sub t/< or =0.18, and omega-tilde/sub d/ = 7.8 x 10-2 for the reactions (dtμ)+ →/sup omegas/ (μ4He)++n+17.59 MeV, (ttμ)+ →/sup omegat/ (μ4He)++2n+11.3 MeV, and (ddμ)+ →/sup omegad/ (μ3He)++n+3.27 MeV
