POLARIZATION OF THE RECOIL NUCLEUS IN $mu$$sup -$-CAPTURE
The complete expression is calculated for the allowed, non-relativistic transition rate of mu /sup -/ capture from the atomic K shell. It is used to obtain the expression for the polarization of the recoil nucleus. The polarization term governs the asymmetry in the subsequent beta decay. If the incident mu are unpolarized, the polarization of the recoil following mu capture in a Gamow-Teller transition can in principle distinguish between the coupling constants suggested by Lee and Yang and by Feynman and Gell-Mann.
