Abstract
The results of calculations of the total cross sections of spin-flip processes in low energy muonic hydrogen scattering on hydrogen molecules are presented. These calculations are based on the respective set of cross sections for muonic hydrogen scattering on hydrogen nuclei, obtained within the framework of the multichannel adiabatic method. All combinations of the three hydrogen isotopes are considered. Molecular binding effects are described in terms of the Fermi pseudopotential method. Electron screening effects are calculated in the distorted wave Born approximation. Rotational and vibrational transitions of the molecules, due to collisions with muonic hydrogen atoms, are taken into account. The molecular and electron screening corrections do not exceed a few tens per cent for lowest collision energies.
