D ec 1 99 2 Hyperfine Populations Prior to Muon Capture
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the 1S level hyperfine populations prior to muon capture will be statistical when either target or beam are unpolarised independent of the atomic level at which the hyperfine interaction becomes appreciable. This assertion holds in the absence of magnetic transitions during the cascade and is true because of minimal polarisation after atomic capture and selective feeding during the cascade.

The capture of a muon bound to an atomic nucleus is a singular phenomenon because it involves three forces: an electromagnetic force binds the muon to the nucleus and produces the muon’s energy levels, including the hyperfine structure; the nuclear force produces the structure of the nucleus; and finally, the weak force is responsible for the capture. In this note, I describe the rather bizarre...
متن کاملMuonium as a hydrogen analogue in silicon and germanium: Quantum effects and hyperfine parameters
We report a first-principles theoretical study of hyperfine interactions, zero-point effects, and defect energetics of muonium and hydrogen impurities in silicon and germanium. The spin-polarized density-functional method is used, with the crystalline orbitals expanded in all-electron Gaussian basis sets. The behavior of hydrogen and muonium impurities at both the tetrahedral and bond-centered ...
متن کاملInduced Pseudoscalar Coupling in Muon Capture and Second-order Corrections
The hyperfine effect in muon capture rate is analyzed with taking into account of the second-order terms in 1/M in the non-relativistic Hamiltonian. It is shown that in the situation of the dominance of the squared first-order terms the interference of zero-order and second-order terms has no significant influence. General expression for neutrino (recoil nucleus) angular distribution in muon ca...

Traditional analysis of g = 2(1+κ) experiments for charged leptons use a classical spin vector picture. For muons, we here employ a more exact Dirac quantum four component spinor theory. Survival probabilities (including wave packet effects) are computed. These oscillate with the frequency Ω = (κeB/M c) as has been assumed in previous muon (g − 2) experimental analyses; i.e. muon survival proba...

The characteristics of the partial nuclear muon capture with massive left-handed Dirac neutrino and relativistic component of the muon wave function have been derived. The multipole amplitudes are given as a function of neutrino mass parameter and reduced nuclear matrix elements which are modified by the small component of the muon wave function. As an example, the capture rate, asymmetry and p...
