Measurement of the rate of hydrogen atom abstraction from methane and ethane by muonium

Reaction rates for the gas-phase reactions Mu+ CH₄ → MuH + CH₃ and Mu + C₂H₆ → MuH + C₂H₅ have been measured using μSR over the temperature ranges 626-821 K and 511-729 K respectively. The usual Arrhenius plots for each data set are linear. The measured parameters A are 5.7 [+4.8 superscript and -2....
