Abstract
Several experiments performed by our group in recent years have put into evidence the complex structure of the time distributions of the muonic X-rays following transfer from muonic hydrogen isotopes to heavier elements. Simulations have shown that a substantial fraction of the µp atoms in the ground state have epithermal energies. Therefore, an energy dependence of the transfer rate seems a reasonable assumption for the explanation of the complex time structure.
