Relaxation and formation processes of the muon and muonium in the gas phase

The positive muon is an unstable (Tµ =2.2µsec) particle but one with properties very similar to the proton from a chemical and atomic physics point of view. It has, however, a mass only 1/9 that of the proton, a fact which makes it ideal for studying any mass dependence in chemical and physical phen...
