Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to find explicit formulas describing the joint distributions of the first hitting time and place for half-spaces of codimension one for a diffusion in Rn+1, composed of one-dimensional Bessel process and independent n-dimensional Brownian motion. The most important argument is carried out for the two-dimensional situation. We show that this amounts to computation of distributions of various integral functionals with respect to a two-dimensional process with independent Bessel components. As a result, we provide a formula for the Poisson kernel of a half-space or of a strip for the operator (IDelta)alpha/2, 0<alpha<2. In the case of a half-space, this result was recently found, by different methods, in [6]. As an application of our method we also compute various formulas for first hitting places for the isotropic stable L'evy process.
