Abstract

Next to the hydrogen atom, the µ − p system is the most fundamental lepton-hadron system; therefore it can be used to test and extend our basic knowledge of the weak semi-leptonic interaction between leptons and quarks. Radiative muon capture (RMC) is much more sensitive than ordinary muon capture (OMC) to the induced pseudoscalar coupling constant of the weak semi-leptonic current because of the much larger range of momentum transfers which can occur in RMC. A status report on TRIUMF E452, Radiative Muon Capture on Hydrogen, which is anticipating a 10% measurement of this coupling constant, is presented.
