Excited states of the molecular ion (H2μ)+

  • 1. Inst. of Physics and Technology, Moscow (Russian Federation)

Description

The rotation-vibration spectrum of (H2μ)+ is computed. Radiative lifetimes of the excited states are of order 10-4 s or more. These times can be considered infinite compared to the lifetime of μ+. For the ion in a crystal the lifetimes are significantly decreased by interaction with polarized molecules of the lattice. Transition rates to the ground state are calculated for (H2μ)+ in a hydrogen crystal. The results make it possible to interpret the experimental data from μSR investigations of hydrogen, deuterium and hydrogen-deuterium mixtures. (orig.)
