Abstract

The advanced adiabatic approach (AAA) previously proposed for the description of collision problems in atomic physics is extended to the specific case of mesic atom collisions in excited states n⩾2. Calculations of the muon transfer and Coulomb deexcitation rates in collisions of ()n, ()n, and ()n muonic atoms in excited states n=3,4,5 with hydrogen isotopes p, d, t are presented.
