Abstract

The question of the charge state of the proton (the positive muon) in metals is of fundamental importance for the theory of metal hydrides. The theory developed here permits determination of the charge state of μ + in normal metals. The experimental possibilities of the observation of Mu atoms in metals at various strengths of the external magnetic field and various temperatures are analyzed.
