Abstract

We report on an experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen, Switzerland measuring x rays from muon transfer from deuterium to helium. Both the ground-state transfer via the exotic [Formula Presented] molecules and the excited-state transfer from [Formula Presented] were measured. The use of charge-coupled device detectors allowed x rays from 1.5 keV to 11 keV to be detected with sufficient energy resolution to separate the transitions to different final states in both deuterium and helium. The x-ray peaks of the [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] molecules were measured with good statistics. For the [Formula Presented] mixture, the peak has its maximum at [Formula Presented] with full width at half maximum (FWHM) [Formula Presented] Furthermore, the radiative branching ratio was found to be [Formula Presented] For the [Formula Presented] mixture, the maximum of the peak lies at [Formula Presented] and the FWHM is [Formula Presented] The radiative branching ratio is [Formula Presented] The excited-state transfer is limited by the probability to reach the deuterium ground state, [Formula Presented] This coefficient was determined for both mixtures: [Formula Presented]% and [Formula Presented].
