The atomic cascades in 
and 
atoms
have been studied in detail using new results for the cross-sections of
the scattering of highly excited exotic atoms from molecular hydrogen.
The cascade calculations have been done with an updated version of
the extended standard cascade model that computes the evolution in the
kinetic energy from the beginning of the cascade.
The resulting X-ray yields, kinetic energy distributions,
and cascade times are compared with the experimental data.
