Suppose the muon happens to have fallen into an orbit around a deuteron initially, which it has about a 50 % chance of doing if there are approximately equal numbers of deuterons and tritons present, forming an electrically neutral muonic deuterium atom ( d-μ )< sup > 0 </ sup > that acts somewhat like a " fat, heavy neutron " due both to its relatively small size ( again, about 207 times smaller than an electrically neutral electronic deuterium atom ( d-e )< sup > 0 </ sup >) and to the very effective " shielding " by the muon of the positive charge of the proton in the deuteron.

The electrically neutral muonic tritium atom ( t-μ )< sup > 0 </ sup > thus formed will act somewhat like an even " fatter, heavier neutron ," but it will most likely hang on to its muon, eventually forming a muonic molecular ion, most likely due to the resonant formation of a hyperfine molecular state within an entire deuterium molecule D < sub > 2 </ sub > ( d = e < sup > 2 </ sup >= d ), with the muonic molecular ion acting as a " fatter, heavier nucleus " of the " fatter, heavier " neutral " muonic / electronic " deuterium molecule (
