The results of improved calculations of the muon transfer rate from the 1S-state of muonic protium to neon are presented in the interval of collision energies from 10 −4 eV to 15 eV. The calculations have been made within the perturbed stationary states method in which the wavefunction of the three-body system (muon, proton and neon nucleus) is expanded in eigenfunctions of a two-centre Coulomb problem formulated in the Jacobi coordinates of the entrance channel. This approach provides the asymptotically correct description of the entrance channel. Namely, the correct dissociation limit is obtained, there are no spurious long-range interactions, the polarization attraction between muonic protium and neon appears naturally. Moreover, the electron screening, which is important at low collision energies, can be easily taken into account. The defects of the description are removed into the muon transfer channel in which their effect is not expected to be too significant because of large energies of the relative motion in this channel. The previous calculations carried out in this way allowed one to explain experimentally observed features of the temperature dependence of the transfer rate in hydrogen-neon mixtures. In the present work, a more perfect algorithm of constructing the basis eigenfunctions of the two-centre Coulomb problem has been realized and a better agreement with experimental data has been obtained.
