Abstract
The classical-trajectory Monte Carlo method has been used to determine ionization and capture cross sections and stopping powers for collisions of negative muons with hydrogen atoms. The calculations were done for muon energies from about 3 eV to 150 keV. The uncertainty in the results is thought to be about 30%. Most muons are found to be captured in collisions at energies below the ionization potential of the target atom.Keywords
