Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100345a092

Decay of H (or D) atoms at 4.2 K, produced by γ-radiolysis of solid hydrogen, has been studied by ESR spectroscopy.The decay is caused by quantum mechanical tunneling.The decay rate of H atoms in H2 depends upon the initial concentration of the H atoms, a
