Muon capture on the deuteron and 3He

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014
We plan to investigate the role of meson exchange currents in the description of the µ− + d → νµ + n + n and µ− + 3He → νµ + 3H reactions. They both are treated as the decay of the corresponding muonic atoms, with the muon initially on the lowest K shell.

Ordinary Muon Capture on ¹³⁶Ba: Comparative Study Using the Shell Model and pnQRPA

Universe, 2023
In this work, we present a study of ordinary muon capture (OMC) on 136Ba, the daughter nucleus of 136Xe double beta decay (DBD). The OMC rates at low-lying nuclear states (below 1 MeV of excitation energy) in 136Cs are assessed by using both the ...

Cosmogenic ¹⁰Be in pyroxene: laboratory progress, production rate systematics, and application of the ¹⁰Be–³He nuclide pair in the Antarctic Dry Valleys [PDF]

Geochronology, 2023
Here, we present cosmogenic-10Be and cosmogenic-3He data from Ferrar dolerite pyroxenes in surficial rock samples and a bedrock core from the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, with the goal of refining the laboratory methods for extracting beryllium from ...

Muon capture in nuclei [PDF]

Il Nuovo Cimento, 1964
Theoretical calculations of the total capture rate for muons in certain light nuclei (40Ca,16O,12C,4He) have been carried out with cognizance taken of the important role played by giant dipole resonances in the capture process. The calculation involves the following steps: 1) Relating the dipole contribution of the vector interaction to its unretarded ...

Muon capture on nuclei with N > Z, random phase approximation, and in-medium renormalization of the axial-vector coupling constant [PDF]

, 2000
We use the random phase approximation to describe the muon capture rate on ${}^{44}$Ca,${}^{48}$Ca, ${}^{56}$Fe, ${}^{90}$Zr, and ${}^{208}$Pb. With ${}^{40}$Ca as a test case, we show that the Continuum Random Phase Approximation (CRPA) and the standard

Nuclear Excitation by Muon Capture [PDF]

, 2022
Efficient excitation of nuclei via exchange of a real or virtual photon has a fundamental importance for nuclear science and technology development. Here, we present a new mechanism of nuclear excitation based on the capture of a free muon into the atomic orbits (NE$\mu$C).

Break-up channels in muon capture on 3He

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
The μ− +3 He → νμ + n + d and μ− +3 He → νμ + n + n + p capture reactions are studied under full inclusion of final state interactions with the AV18 nucleon-nucleon potential, augmented by the Urbana IX three-nucleon force, and employing the single ...

Radiative muon capture on hydrogen

Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields, 1992
The radiative capture of negative muons by protons can be used to measure the weak induced pseu-doscalar form factor. Brief arguments why this method is preferable to ordinary muon capture are given followed by a discussion of the experimental difficulties.

Study of muon-induced background in MMC detector arrays for the ECHo experiment

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
For above ground particle physics experiments, cosmic muons are common source of background, not only for direct detector hits, but also for secondary radiation created in neighboring materials. The ECHo experiment has been designed for the determination
