The formation rate of the excited hydrogen mesic molecule due to Auger process is calculated in a quasiclassic approximation. The resulted bound state may decay via predissociation with a large energy release, which leads to a considerable acceleration of the mesic atom. The calculated rates of the mesic molecule formation are compared with those obtained in a semiclassical approach.
