Negative muons are stopped in solid layers of hydrogen and neon. Muonic hydrogen atoms can drift to the neon layer where the muon is immediately transferred. It was found that the time structure of the muonic neon X-rays follows the exponential law where the rate is the same as the disappearance rate of {mu}{sup -}p atoms. The pp{mu}-formation rate and the muon transfer rate to deuterium are deduced.
