TABLES OF TRANSFORMATION BRACKETS FOR ALPHA EMISSION CALCULATIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4837045
An investigation was made of the reaction mu /sup -/ + He/sup 3/ yields H/sup 3/ + nu in a diffasion chamber filled with He/sup 3/ at a pressure of 20 atin. About 6000 photographs of meson stoppibg were obtained and 14 events of muon capture in He/sup 3/ with emission of H/sup 3/ and a neutrino in the final state were observed. The mean range of tritium determined on the basis of 14 cases was 2.37 plus or minus 0.02 mg/cm/sup 2/. The upper limit of the mass of the neutral particle emitted in the process of muon capture by nucleons was calculated to be less than 6 Mev with a probability of 99%. The probability of the reaction was calculated. (M.C.G.)
