Abstract

Possibilities of using negative muons are discussed: (i) for understanding the behaviour of wave functions of outer electron shells in the vicinity of a nucleus and (ii) for investigation of the exchange effects in solid state physics. It is noticed that the effective life time of μ bound in light atoms (nuclear spin i≠O) depends on the state of the outer electron shell. This fact can be used for measurement ofK-capture rates from different components of hyperfine structure of a mesic atom and for estimation of the weak interaction constant.
