Muon Capture on Nuclei and the Induced Pseudoscalar Coupling Constant
نویسنده
چکیده
Ordinary and Radiative Muon Capture Reactions are reviewed with regards to the evidence for a renormalization of the induced pseudoscalar coupling constant inside the nucleus. Emphasis is placed on the new results which have become available since the WEIN-92 conference.

Muon capture on nuclei with NÌZ , random phase approximation, and in-medium value of the axial-vector coupling constant
We use the random phase approximation to describe the muon capture rate on Ca, Ca, Fe, Zr, and Pb. With Ca as a test case, we show that the continuum random phase approximation ~CRPA! and the standard RPA give essentially equivalent descriptions of the muon capture process. Using the standard RPA with the free nucleon weak form factors we reproduce the experimental total capture rates on these ...
متن کاملCurrents and Their Couplings in the Weak Sector of the Standard Model
Beta-decay and muon-capture experiments in nuclei are reviewed. The conserved vector current hypothesis is confirmed through the observed constancy of the vector coupling constant determined from the superallowed Fermi transitions and from the measurement of the weak-magnetism term in mirror Gamow-Teller transitions. The axial-vector and pseudoscalar coupling constants in the nucleon are determ...

The µLan experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute will measure the lifetime of the positive muon with a precision of 1 ppm, giving a value for the Fermi coupling constant GF at the level of 0.5 ppm. Meanwhile, by measuring the observed lifetime of the negative muon in pure hydrogen, the µCap experiment will determine the rate of muon captu...

We use the random phase approximation to describe the muon capture rate on 44Ca,48Ca, 56Fe, 90Zr, and 208Pb. With 40Ca as a test case, we show that the Continuum Random Phase Approximation (CRPA) and the standard RPA give essentially equivalent descriptions of the muon capture process.
