On the formation of exotic atoms

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

A general disagreement exists between theory and experiment in the field of formation and decay of muonic and pionic atoms. Allowing for collisional processes in the deexcitation of heavy exotic atoms can substantially change the interpretation of experimental Coulomb-capture ratios, particularly of those measured by the muonic X-ray method.
