Spectra of energetic protons and deuterons emitted following negative muon capture from rest in {sup 3}He have been measured for the first time. Significant capture strength is observed at high energy transfers ({ital m}{sub {mu}}{minus}{ital E}{sub {nu}}{gt}60 MeV) for the two-body and three-body breakup channels, indicative of the importance of nucleon-nucleon correlations and meson exchange currents in the capture process. A simple plane wave impulse approximation calculation reproduces the proton spectrum reasonably well, but underpredicts the deuteron rate at the highest energies by a large factor.
