Tóm tắt

It has been shown experimentally that the muonium relaxation due to spin exchange is 1.5 times faster in intermediate transverse fields (say, atB=50 G, where the so-called two-frequency muonium signal is observed) than in low fields (say, atB=5 G), in agreement with an earlier theoretical prediction. It has also been confirmed experimentally that this distinct field dependence is totally absent in the case of chemical reaction.
