X-RAY YIELDS FROM $mu$-MESONIC ATOMS
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4146964
The interesting suggestion has been made that the rapid drop in the yield of K x rays in the light elements may be associated with the capture of mu -mesons into the metastable 2s-state. The mechanisms for making transitions from the 2s to the 1s state and from various p-states into the 2s state were investigated in detail for Li, Be, and B. It is found that the paradoxical reduction of K x rays remains unexplained. Stark mixing of the mesonic 2s and 2p states by the electric field of the atomic electrons allows "mixed" Auger- radiative transitions to the 1s state to compete favorabl mixed ta
