Study of the Effects of Hyperfine Structure in the Capture of $mu$ Mesons. Application to the Case of Lithium-6 (thesis); ETUDE DES EFFETS DE STRUCTURE HYPERFINE DANS LA CAPTURE DES MESONS- MU. APPLICATION AU CAS DU LITHIUM-6 (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4126380
The effect of hyperline structure in the capture of mu mesons is studied and extended to transitions leading to a particular final state. The hyperfine difference DELTA lambda between states is calculated, and the matrix elements of the hyperfine structure operators in the shell model are derived. The results are then applied to the transition Li/sup 6/ + mu /sup -/ yields He/sup 6/ + nu . It is shown that this reaction has as great a hyperfine structure as mu /sup -/ capture by hydrogen. The effect is essentially due to the conservation of the angular momentum and to the predominance of orbital moment configurations totaling zero in Li/sup 6/ and He/sup 6/. (J.S.R.)
