We investigate systems of three mutually interacting particles with masses \( m_e\), \(m_\mu \), M that obey the following inequality \(m_e \ll m_\mu \ll M\). Then the three-body problem reduces to the two-body scattering or structure of \(m_e\) in the field of the pseudo-nucleus \(m_\mu M\). We calculate analytically the properties of considered systems, such as the scattering cross-sections, hyperfine splitting, Auger decay of exited states and Lamb shits, presenting them as expansions in powers of the parameter \(\beta = m_e/m_\mu \ll 1\).
