Muon; muonium; muonic hydrogen; two-state approximation; cross-sections

The muonium/muonic hydrogen atom formation in μ^±−H collisions is investigated, using a two-state approximation in a time dependent formalism. It is found that muonium cross-section results are similar to the cross-section results obtained for positronium formation in e⁺-H collision. Muonic hydrogen atom formation cross-sections in μ^--H collision are found to be significant in a narrow range of energy (5 eV–25 eV).
