Accompanying processes: weak decay (μ ), nuclear absorption (K ).

4 The general problem: (px) nl +H all final states The existing approaches to solve this problem: Quantum Mechanics (QM) methods: three-body problem; multi-channel Coulomb problem (n 2 ~1 1 muonic/kaonic states); total and differential cross sections (and the lack of the complete set of them). Classical Mechanics (CM) description: three Coulomb charged planet problem (classical collisions); natural description of multi-quantum Coulomb transitions (Δ= n n'>1); possibility to take into account protons chemical binding in H 2 molecule. Good argument for solution of the QM problem by the CM methods is successful description of the electron charge exchange in collisions of multi-charged ions with hydrogen atoms (R. Olson and A. Salop, 1976): differences between calculated and experimental cross-sections are about ~2%. Another argument is the Bohr Correspondence Principle: the CM results coincide with the same in QM at large n.

6 Quantum-Classical Monte Carlo method Proposed scheme of cascade calculations: Radiative transitions are considered by QM methods; Collisions are considered by methods of CM; Auger processes are treated semiclassically. The processes of Auger capture are negligible for heavy exotic atoms (e.g., pk ), which become more and more energetic during the cascade due to multi-quantum Coulomb transitions. How Auger processes is important for light exotic atoms (pμ)?

26 Summary A quantum-classical code for ab initio calculations of cascade in exotic hydrogen atoms is developed. This code does not use any fit parameters, and seems to be more accurate than the calculation scheme requiring a sewing procedure. The analysis of the kinetics of cascade processes in muonic and kaonic hydrogen atoms leads to conclusion, which is important for simplifying the cascade calculations: Auger acceleration is negligible for all exotic hydrogen atoms. The obtained results have demonstrated good agreement between theory and experiment. The developed code enables to carry out calculations (with sufficient accuracy ~ 2% and less) of main characteristics of cascade processes: cross-sections of Coulomb, Stark and Auger transitions; kinetic energy distributions; cascade time in the exotic atom; Doppler broadening of the atomic states; X-ray yields.
