The present status of research of muon transfer from the ground state
of muonic
protium to 4He is reviewed. The analysis of a recent measurement in a
triple gas
mixture of H2+4He+Ne at 15 bar and room temperature is presented and the result is
compared to the existing
experimental and theoretical rates. The average muon transfer rate from
protium to 4He determined from all lifetime measurements is
.
