RADIATIVE MUON CAPTURE

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
The theory of radiative muon capture is developed. The discussion includes both parity conserving and nonconserving effects. The Gell-Mann weak magnetic term and the induced pseudoscalar are included, along with comparable relativistic effects in the nucleons. The theory is applied to light nuclei and especially to the radiative Godfrey reaction mu /sup -/ + C/sup 12/ yields nu + gamma + B/sup 12/. A n experiment to detect the induced pseudoscalar directly is proposed. (auth)
