Abstract

The data of the experiment with the H2+4He mixture are analyzed in order to estimate muon transfer rates from the excited states of pμ atoms to helium. Experimental data turned out to be insensible to the transfer rates from the metastable 2s state. The rates forn=3, 4, 5 were found to be: λ(3)=(2±7)×1010 s−1, λ(4)=(16±13)×1011 s−1, λ(5)=(75±60) ×1011 s−1, respectively.
