Abstract The partial spectral distribution function $$I_{K_{i,} K_f } {\text{ (}}\xi {\text{, }} \in {\text{; }}T{\text{)}}$$ for muonic molecule formation turns out to play an important role in understanding the effect of interactions with surrounding spectator molecules. We formulate and numerically calculate it for a solid hydrogen. First of all, in addition to a conventional Lorentzian peak centered at a resonance energy $$ \in _{K_{i,} K_f } $$ , there appears another very broad peak in the spectral distribution, which extends from the resonance energy to energies higher by the Debye energyħθ D of the solid. It is shown that the latter corresponds to the spectral distribution of phonon excitations caused by a sudden dtμ formation. Secondly, a strong intensity borrowing from the Lorentzian peak to the broad one occurs. Thanks to this fact, a large formation rate is yielded for subthreshold transitions. The comparison with Vesman's spectral distribution function, namely, of a dtμ formation for an isolated D2, is made.
