Abstract
A key process in muon catalysed fusion is the deexcitation of the dtmu within the resonant muonic quasi-molecule [(dtmu)dee], by emission of an Auger electron. The dtmu in the quasi-molecule is initially in a w eakly bound excited state with J = 1 and upsilon = 1. In this paper, c alculations taking full account of the molecular nature of the quasi-m olecule are carried out of the rate of the dominant deexcitation to th e state with J = 0 and upsilon = 1.
