Abstract
Muonium spin dynamics in solid krypton in the presence of deliberately introduced impurities has been studied in the temperature range from 2 K to 115 K. At temperatures up to 40 K, muonium transverse relaxatio n rate turns out to be virtually unaffected by impurities. This implie s that the Mu energy level shifts in the neighboring wells induced by impurities are smaller than the characteristic Mu activation energy in the one-phonon regime of quantum diffusion.
