NONRADIATIVE E2 TRANSITIONS IN $mu$ MESONIC ATOMS

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys.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
S>A mu /sup -/ meson, bound in a 3D orbit about a very heavy element, can make a nonradiative transition to the 1S state accompanied by electric excitation of the nucleus. A rough calculation, based on data on the photofission of U/sup 238/, indicates that this process may compete favorably with 3D yields 2P x-ray emission. (auth)
