Abstract
Radiative, Auger and two-particle dissociation modes of hydrogen-heliu m mesic molecules are considered. Auger rate is shown to be independen t of the isotopic content of the molecule and amounts to approximately 25 % of radiative one. Two-particle decay rate strongly depends on th e isotopic content and for light isotopes is an order of magnitude hig her than the radiative rate.
