TRANSITION BETWEEN HYPERFINE STRUCTURE LEVELS IN $mu$-MESIC HYDROGEN ATOMS (in Russian)

It is shown that due to the mechanism suggested by Ya. B. Zeldovich of a jump'' of mu /sup -/ mesons from one proton to another, mesic hydrogen atoms during the lifetime of the mu meson completely convert to the ground state of the hyperfine structure. A consequence of this is that the mu /sup -/ mesons are completely depolarized in hydrogen and that tbe neutrons produced in mu /sup -/-meson capture by protons mu /sup -/ + p yields n + nu are totally polarized in the direction of their motion.
