A Muonic hydrogen dissociation energy and cross-section

Click For Summary
The dissociation energy of a muonic molecular hydrogen ion differs from that of an ordinary molecular hydrogen ion due to the mass differences between muons and electrons. This variation also implies that the cross-section for dissociation will not be the same for both types of ions. Understanding these differences is crucial for accurately determining the fusion rate for muon-catalyzed fusion in warm dense plasma. The dissociation rate of a muonic hydrogen molecule is influenced by electron collisions, which further complicates the analysis. Accurate calculations are essential for advancing research in this area.

TL;DR
Is the cross-section for muonic molecular hydrogen ions dissociation the same as that for ordinary
hydrogen ions?
Is the dissociation energy of a muonic molecular hydrogen ion the same as an ordinary molecular hydrogen ion? Would the cross-section for dissociation be the same as an ordinary molecular hydrogen ion? I am trying to determine the fusion rate for muon-catalyzed fusion in warm dense plasma, and I need to know the dissociation rate of a muonic hydrogen molecule due to electron collisions.

As the masses are different, I really don't see how the energy could be the same.
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
