abstract
The number of hydrogen-like atoms produced when heavy nuclei collide is estimated for central collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider using the sudden approximation of Baym et al. As first suggested by Schwartz, a simultaneous measurement of the hydrogen and hadron spectra will allow an inference of the electron or muon spectra at low momentum where a direct experimental measurement is not feasible.

Production of muonic kaon atoms at high-energy colliders
Muonic kaon atoms form in D0 decays with branching ratio 2.29×10^{-10} and via QGP coalescence, with projected yields at LHC and RHIC sufficient for first observation and secondary-vertex reconstruction.
