Abstract

Photoemulsionplates impregnated with uranium 238 were exposed at SIN to a muon beam. In the later scanning, events are analysed in which muons have induced prompt or delayed fission. Of special interest are processes showing the reemission of muons from a fragment (“muon conversion”) or of other charged particles (p,a). Preliminary results on energy and angular distributions of the emitted particles and samples of such events are shown. Some conclusions on the fission mechanism and on the fate of the muons are drawn.
