Hyperfine structure of the energy levels of. mu. -mesic molecules of the hydrogen isotopes
In the first order of perturbation theory in ..cap alpha../sup 2/, a calculation accurate to approx.10/sup -3/ eV is made of the hyperfine structure of the energy levels of all stationary states with quantum numbers J< or =1 and v< or =1 of the total orbital angular momentum and of the vibrational motion, respectively, for mesic molecules of the hydrogen isotopes. The solutions to the nonrelativistic problem of the bound states of a system of three particles with Coulomb interaction found in the adiabatic representation are chosen as the zeroth approximation. Expressions are given for the probability amplitudes of the different values of the total spin of the nuclei and the total spin of the ..mu..-mesic molecules in the stationary states of the hyperfine structure. Calculations are made of the populations of the stationary states of the hyperfine structure of the ..mu..-mesic molecules formed in collisions of the mesic atoms p..mu.., d..mu.., and t..mu.. in the parastate or orthostate with the nuclei p, d, and t.
