NUCLEUS POLARIZATION IN $mu$$sup -$-MESON CAPTURE TO THE MESOATOM K SHELL (in Russian)

Journal Article · · Zhur. Eksptl'. i Teoret. Fiz.
OSTI ID:4239713
In addition to depolarization of the originally polarized ic meson (in ic mesoatom formation with ic /sup -/ meson transition to the K shell) in cases where nuclei have spin I the nucleus is also polarized due to magnetic spin interactions. The mesoatom spin state can be described by a corresponding matrix p. Assuming that the nuclei before capture are nonpolarized, the only preferred direction is the original direction of ic meson polarization. The polarization of nuclei should be considered in experiments related to the capture of polarized ic /sup -/ mesons by nuclei, especially for determining the angular distribution of neutrons produced.
