Quantum-mechanical calculations of muon transfer between muonic hydrogen andan oxygen nuclei for $s$ waves and collision energies in the range $10^{-3} -10^3$ eV, are presented. Close-coupling time-independent Schr\"odingerequations, written in terms of hyperspherical elliptic coordinates wereintegrated along the hyper-radius to obtain the partial and total muon-transferprobabilities. The results show the expected Wigner-Bethe threshold behavior upto collision energies of the order of $10^{-2}$ eV and pronounced maxima at$10^2$ eV which can be interpreted in terms of crossings between potentialenergy curves corresponding to the entrance channel state $(\mu p)_{1s} + \mO$and two product channels which asymptotically correlate to $p +(\mO\mu)_{n=5,6}$.  The population of the final states with different orbital angular momenta isfound to be essentially independent of energy in the range considered in thiswork. This can be attributed to a strong selection rule for the conservation ofthe quantum number associated to one of the elliptic hyperangles.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
