Chemical collisions involving μ+ mesons

The phase shifts for the chemical reaction of μ+ mesons with Tritium molecular ions have been calculated using Hulthen–Kohen and Schwinger variational methods. Also the differential cross sections for different values of the wave number of the relative motion are computed. The obtained values are found to be comparable with the corresponding theoretical ones or that obtained by F. Ayoub and A. El-Shahawy [Journal de chimie physique (1986) 83]. They are, however, not far below the maximum values.
