## Abstract

The non-resonant formation of $dd\\mu$ molecules in the loosely bound state in collisions of non-thermalized $d\\mu$ atoms with deuterium molecules D$\_2$ has been considered. The process of such a type is possible only for collision energies exceeded the ionization potential of D$\_2$. The calculated rates of $dd\\mu$ formation in the above-threshold energy region are about one order of magnitude higher than obtained earlier.   The role of epithermal non-resonant $\\mu$-molecule formation for the kinetics of $\\mu$CF processes in D$\_2$ gas was studied. It was shown that the non-resonant $dd\\mu$ formation by $d\\mu$ atoms accelerated during the cascade can be directly observed in the neutron time spectra at very short initial times.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
