Abstract
The scattering of muonic and pionic hydrogen in exited states from hydrogen has been studied in a coupled-channel model. The threshold effects (the en ergy shifts of the nS states) and, in case of pi (-)p, the widths of the nS states are taken into account in a fully quantum mechanical framework. As a result, a set of collisional differential and total cross sections (n = 2 - 5) which are needed for detailed atomic cascade calculations, including the Stark mixing cross sections, has been calculated.
