	abstract = {The muonic atom He-4 mu has the composition alpha(++)mu(-)e(-), and is formed by stopping negative muons in He doped with a small amount of NH3 (or Xe). It may be regarded as a unique heavy H-atom isotope with a mass of 4.1 amu. As such, the study of its chemical reaction rates and comparison with those of the well-known light Mu atom (0.113 amu) allows unprecedented tests of kinetic isotope effects over a range of 36 in mass. As a first example, and one which is of most fundamental interest, we have begun kinetics studies of the He mu + H-2 -> He mu H + H reaction in the gas phase. The first measurements, at 295 K, give a rate constant of k(He mu) = 4.1 +/- 0.7 X 10(-16) cm(3) molec(-1) s(-1). in comparison, variational transition state calculations give a value of 2.46 x 10(-6) cm(3) molec(-1) s-1, somewhat below the measurement, despite the large error bar, raising the possibility that the calculations, on an essentially exact potential energy surface, have underestimated the amount of quantum tunneling involved, even for this heavy H-atom isotope.

	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.
