The explanation of unexpected temperature dependence of the muon catalysis in solid deuterium
Abstract
It is shown that due to the smallness of the inelastic cross-section of the dμ-atoms scattering in the crystal lattice at sufficiently low temperatures the ddμ-mesomolecules formation from the upper state of the hyperfine structure dμ (F=3/2) starts earlier than the mesoatoms thermolization. It explains an approximate constancy of the ddμ-mesomolecule formation rate in solid deuterium.
