1. Hello, I have some questions on my homework which are not so clear. The professor asked for " since the binding energy of the D-μ(it is muon) is much bigger than that of ordinary deuterium atom De, explain what will happen if a beam of muons is directed through a gas of ordinary De atoms.
The second question is: "Following from above explain why in a dense De gas one might expect formation of DDμμ(mi) molecules and associated ions such as DDμ





3. I believe that the first question is answer by the second part... that's there is the formation of DDμ ions plus electron

Is it right? could you help me?
