Calculations of electron screening in muonic atoms

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

The electron screening in mounic atoms (O, Al, Fe, In, Ho, Au, Th) has been calculated forp 3/2,d 5/2 andf 7/2 levels withn µ≦30 and for circular orbits withn µ≦12 using a relativistic Dirac-Fock program. Simple empirical formulae are presented which can be employed to calculate the screening corrections for all elements fromZ=8 toZ=90, forp 3/2,d 5/2 andf 7/2 muons up ton µ=30 Screening corrections are also given for electron configurations with holes in theK andL 3 shell.
