Abstract

+One energy loss mechanism in u thermalization (in gases) is that due to charge exchange, in which muonium is repeatedly formed and lost in a series of charge-exchange cycles u*+e- ~ Mu, a process which depends on the ionization potential of the moderator gas but one in which no depolarization of the u+ is expected at ~I atm. pressure. However, if the time between collisions in a given energy regime can be made sufficiently long then additional depolarization may occur, which can provide further information on the chargeexchange process itself. Extensive data showing this effect has been found in gases; results for the noble gases are presented.
