THE CAPTURE OF MUONS BY COMPLEX NUCLEI

Journal Article · · Nuclear Phys.
A comparison is made of different theoretical approaches for calculating the total rates for capture of muons by complex nuclei. The merits of the closure approximation and shell nmodel calculations are discussed. The application of the closure approximation to a statistical model of the nucleus is worked out in some detail. A tentative explanation of the experimental data in terms of a universal Fermi interaction is given. (auth)
