Abstract

Cross sections for elastic and spin-flip scattering of metastable 2s muonic hydrogen on hydrogen atoms are calculated for the symmetric systems pμ+p, dμ+d and tμ+t. The calculations are performed in the two-level approximation of the adiabatic method with inclusion of the Lamb shift and electron screening. Due to the large polarizability of the 2s state, the obtained cross sections significantly exceed their counterparts for the ground-state muonic hydrogen.
