Abstract

The best variational energies epsilon obtained to date for the weakly-bound states of muonic molecules dd mu * (L=1) and dt mu * (L=1) are calculated. A value of epsilon (dd mu *, L=1) is obtained with an accuracy that meets the requirements of muon-catalysed fusion investigations: epsilon (dd mu *, L=1)=1.972+or-0.001 eV. The energies of the 1¹S, 2³S, P, 2¹ 2³P states of the ^infinityHe atom and of the 2¹P state of ³He and ⁴He atoms are calculated by the same method.
