Summary
The determination ofμ molecule formation by measurement of theμ + precession frequency shifts in a magnetic field (due to chemical shifts) is proposed. The differences in chemical shifts between a muon and a proton in simple halide molecules are calculated and shown to be about 2 ppm. A formula, based on the shift of theμ + precession frequency, is presented for determining reaction rates forμ molecule formation.
Riassunto
Si propone la determinazione della formazione delle molecoleμ con misure degli spostamenti di frequenza della precessione delμ + in un campo magnetico (dovuto agli spostamenti chimici). Si calcolano le differenze negli spostamenti chimici fra un muone ed un protone in molecole semplici degli alogenuri e si dimostra che valgono 2 ppm. Si presenta una formula, basata sullo spostamento della frequenza di precessione delμ + per la determinazione dei rapporti di reazione per la formazione della molecolaμ.
Реэюме
Предлагается определение обраэованияμ-молекул посредством иэмерения сдвигов частоты прецессииμ в магнитном поле (иэ-эа химических сдвигов). Вычисляются раэности в химических сдвигах между мюоном и протоном и покаэывается, что они составляют около 2 ррm. Предлагается формула, основанная на сдвиге частоты прецессииμ +, для определения интенсивностей реакций для обраэованияμ-молекул.
