Abstract

We present a collection of measurements of the muon and muonium asymmetries and relaxation parameters in cryocrystals of N2, CO, Xe,136Xe and Ne as functions of temperature. Generally, the fractions of the two species can be attributed to a competition between the formation of muonium or a diamagnetic species, where processes involving transport of spur electrons are important.
