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?

To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
