Hyperfine effects in muon capture

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

A derivation is given of the capture ratesλ + andλ − in the two hyperfine states of a muonic atom. Explicit forms of the matrix elements are given for the nuclear shell model. It is shown that the transition6Li+μ−→6He+ν is very suitable for measuring the effective coupling costantsG A andG P.

Riassunto

Si espone una dednzione dei rapporti di catturaλ + eλ − in due stati iperfini di un atomo muonico. Si dànno forme esplicite degli elementi di matrice del modello a guscio nucleare. Si dimostra che la transizione6Li+μ−→He+ν è molto adatta per misurare le costanti d’accoppiamento effettiveG A eG P.
