Low-energy muon-transfer reaction from hydrogen isotopes to helium isotopes

Abstract

Direct muon transfer in low-energy collisions of the muonic hydrogen H${}_{\mu }$ and helium (He${}^{++}$) is considered in a three-body quantum-mechanical framework of coordinate-space integro-differential Faddeev-Hahn-type equations within two- and six-state close coupling approximations. The final-state Coulomb interaction is treated without any approximation employing appropriate Coulomb waves in the final state. The present results agree reasonably well with previous semiclassical calculations.
