Differential muon-capture rate and the deuterium form factors in the timelike region

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The differential muon-capture rate, dGAMMA/dE/sub n/, is obtained over the total allowed range of E/sub n/, the neutron energy for both F/sub A/, the axial current form factor, analytically continued to the timelike region, and for F/sub A/ under the condition that F/sub A/(q/sup 2/, timelike) = F/sub A/(q/sup 2/, spacelike). It is found that a difference of approximately 10% exists in the extreme timelike region. The contribution from the timelike region to the muon-capture rate, GAMMA, is calculated and found to be negligible.
