ResumoIn the sudden perturbation approximation, the probability of muon sticking to helium, ωs0, is found to equal 0.848 × 10−2 in the reaction dtμ → μα + n. In calculations we have used accurate wave functions of the mesic molecule dtμ obtained in the adiabatic representation of the three-body problem. Corrections to the sudden approximation do not exceed 3%. In view of a subsequent shaking-off of muons during deceleration of μα, the resulting sticking probability ωs equals 0.58 × 10−2.
