RE: transfer rates

["Mulhauser Francoise" <francoise.mulhauser@psi.ch>]

Dear Peter and co,

I have checked the values you gave and am provinding you with the proper one and their references:


The values for N showns on the twiki pages are correct:

Lambda mup->N: 3.4 +- 0.7:
       Ref: R.~Jacot-Guillarmod, F.~Mulhauser, C.~Piller, L.A.~Schaller, L.~
       Schellenberg and H.~Schneuwly: {\bf Muon transfer to low Z
       elements}, published in {\em E.M.~Cascade and Chemistry of
       Exotic Atoms}, eds. by L.M.~Simons, D.~Horv\`ath and
       G.~Torelli, Plenum Press Corp., New--York 1990, p.~223.

Lambda mud->N:  14.5 +-0.2:
        Ref. Y.-A.~Thalmann, R.~Jacot-Guillarmod, F.~Mulhauser, L.A.~Schaller,
        L.~Schellenberg, H.~Schneuwly, S.~Tresch and
        A.~Werthm\"{u}ller: {\bf Muon transfer from excited states of
        hydrogen and deuterium to nitrogen, neon and argon},
        Phys.~Rev.~A {\bf 57} (1998) 1713.

The values for O are slightly wrong:

Lamdba mup->O: 8.5 +-0.2 
       Ref: A.~Werthm\"uller, A.~Adamczak, R.~Jacot-Guillarmod, F.~Mulhauser,
       L.A. Schaller, L. Schellenberg, H.~Schneuwly, Y.-A.~Thalmann
       and S.~Tresch: {\bf Energy dependence of the charge exchange
       reaction from muonic hydrogen to oxygen}, Hyperfine
       Interactions {\bf 116} (1998) 1.
  
       This number is in agreement with my SO2 data and results of 8.3(8).

lambda mud->O: 5.5 +- 0.6 This is measured in SO2. 
       There is no error given. However, we cite it later on with 10% error.
       Ref: F.~Mulhauser and H.~Schneuwly: {\bf Muon transfer to sulphur
       dioxide}, J.~Phys.~B: At.~Mol.~Opt.~Phys.~{\bf 26} (1993)
       4307.

Lambda mud->O:6.3 +- 0.5 is done in D2+O2.
        Ref. A.~Werthm\"uller, A.~Adamczak, R.~Jacot-Guillarmod, F.~Mulhauser,
        C.~Piller, L.A. Schaller, L.~Schellenberg, H.~Schneuwly,
        Y.-A.~Thalmann and S.~Tresch: {\bf Present status of muon
        transfer in gaseous mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen},
        Hyperfine Interactions {\bf 101/102} (1996) 271.

This is the situation that I have been able to find.


I find the results of Tom and Steve impressive and I regret to have miss such an event.
Best regards
Francoise
