Mesic molecule formation in collisional Auger transitions of excited mesic hydrogen

Mesic molecule formation in collisional Auger transitions of excited mesic hydrogen

The formation rate of the excited hydrogen mesic molecule due to Auger process is calculated in a quasiclassic approximation. The resulted bound state may decay via predissociation with a large energy release, which leads to a considerable acceleration of the mesic atom. The calculated rates of the...

Zusammenfassung:The formation rate of the excited hydrogen mesic molecule due to Auger process is calculated in a quasiclassic approximation. The resulted bound state may decay via predissociation with a large energy release, which leads to a considerable acceleration of the mesic atom. The calculated rates of the mesic molecule formation are compared with those obtained in a semiclassical approach.
