The moderation of negative μ-and π-mesons, as well as of hypothetical negative particles of mass 1000 m and 1837 m is described for a hydrogen moderator and a meson energy range: 10 Mev→ 0 ev (capture by an H 2 molecule). In this energy range, there are three principal modes of energy loss by the mesons: 1. High energy ionization loss, describable by the ordinary stopping power theory. 2. Energy loss due to nuclear collisions. 3. Low energy ionization loss caused by non-adiabatic processes special to hydrogen. From estimates of the probability of these three processes, the moderation times of a meson in liquid hydrogen from 10 Mev to capture by an H 2 molecule are calculated:
