We present experimental results of µ-atomic and µ-molecular processes induced by negative muons in pure helium and helium-deuterium mixtures. The experiment was performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland). We measured relative intensities of muonic x-ray K series transitions in (µ3,4He)* atoms in pure helium as well as in...
