Abstract
From the broad field to be reviewed, only a very limited number of topics are presented. Vacuum polarization corrections to the energy of x-rays in muonic heavy, light and very light atoms have been tested in a number of experiments. The precision of these tests and the future of such investigations are discussed.
From the observation of hyperfine splittings of transitions in muonic atoms with a deformed nucleus, one can obtain not only static quadrupole and hexadecapole moments, but also dynamical E2 transitions probabilities and deformation parameters.
The process of pion capture in nuclei is still poorly understood. Information can be obtained from the observation of γ-ray transitions both on- and off-line and also from particle spectra, both single and in coincidence.
