Abstract: | Processes of charge exchange of hydrogen isotopes mesic atoms in excited states at low collision energies 10?2?E?1 eV are studied. The cross sections calculated depend on energy like ~E ?1 and are of an order of the atomic cross sections (~10?16 cm2). It is shown that the high rates (~1012 s?1) of charge exchange and thermalization of mesic atoms in excited states at the liquid hydrogen density are comparable with the rates of cascade transitions in mesic atoms. |
