Experimental limitations on the binding energy of J=v=1 states of the dtμ mesic molecule
Analysis of experimental data on the formation rates of άΐμ mesic molecules at low temperatures yields an estimate of the energy of the transition from the F = 0 spin state of the mesic atom ΐμ to the weakly bound J — υ — 1 state of the mesic molecule άΐμ, with a total spin 5=1. This estimated transition energy is = 0.597 + 0.002 eV. An estimate making use of theoretical values of the relativistic corrections then leads to the following binding energy of the J = υ = 1 state of the mesic molecule άΐμ: \eu \ = 0.656 + 0.002 eV.
