	abstract = {In order to provide an assessment of the "global" accuracy of the Liu-Siegbahn-Truhlar-Horowitz (LSTH) potential surface for H-3, hot atom reaction yields, which are determined from collision processes over an energy range much wider than that of single-collision experiments, have been calculated for the Mu*+H-2 and T*+H-2 systems. The isotopic comparison of muonium (Mu=mu(+)e(-)), an ultralight isotope of hydrogen (m(Mu)/m(H)approximate to 1/9), with the heaviest H-atom isotope, tritium, is a novel approach in testing the global accuracy of the H-3 surface. These reaction yields have been calculated using a formalism developed for (mu(+)) charge exchange, with input cross sections for elastic, inelastic (rovibrational excitation) and reactive collisions determined from quasi classical trajectories on the LSTH surface, in the center-of-mass energy range 0.5-11 eV. The rate of energy loss of the hot atom (Mu* or T*) due to elastic and inelastic collisions with the moderator (H-2) drastically affects the hot atom reaction yield. In particular, the forwardness of the angular differential cross section for the elastic process plays a crucial role in determining the stopping power for hot atoms. Good agreement is obtained in the absolute yields for both Mu(*)+H-2 and T-*+H-2, for the first time from microscopic cross sections, demonstrating that the LSTH surface remains surprisingly accurate over a wide range of energy and isotopic mass.

	abstract = {A new model is developed for the analysis of muon spin relaxation (mu-SR) measurements of muonium (Mu) reaction rates with other chemical species. The kinetics component of the model is specifically developed for addition reactions but can be extended to direct reactions. The polarization component of the model assumes that the adduct formed possesses a single, effective spin precession frequency. The complete model is solved to obtain an analytic expression for the mu-SR signal as a function of time. Both a time-ordered sequence method and a Boltzmann spin equation method give equivalent solutions. These solutions are analyzed under various kinetic conditions. It is concluded that the coefficient controlling the decay of the mu-SR signal is closely related to the adduct formation rate constant, i.e., the high pressure limit of the apparent bimolecular addition rate constant. In the most favorable case, the decay constant gives the adduct formation rate constant directly at all pressures of buffer gas.},
