Low-energy three-body charge transfer reactions with Coulomb interaction in the final state

Abstract

Three-body charge transfer reactions with Coulomb interaction in the final state are considered in the framework of coordinate-space integro-differential Faddeev-Hahn-type equations within two- and six-state close coupling approximations. The method is employed to study direct muon transfer in low-energy collisions of the muonic hydrogen H${}_{\mu }$ by helium (He${}^{++}$) and lithium (Li${}^{+++}$) nuclei. The experimentally observed isotopic dependence is reproduced.
