Nuclear muon capture: Hyperfine effects in nuclear spin and isospin (1/2 +- ,1/2). -->. (1/2 +- ,1/2) and (1/sup +/,0). -->. (0/sup +/,1) transitions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Formulas for angular correlations and capture rates in muon-capture transitions between initial and final nuclear states characterized by spin an isospin (1/2/sup + -/,1/2)/sub ini/ and (1/2/sup + -/,1/2)/sub fin/, and (1/sup +/,0)/sub tin/ and (0/sup +/,1)/sub ini/, are derived and applied to ..mu../sup -/P ..-->.. ..nu../sub ..mu../N, ..mu../sup -/ /sup 3/He ..-->.. ..nu../sub ..mu../ /sup 3/H, and ..mu../sup -/ /sup 6/Li ..-->.. ..nu../sub ..mu../ /sup 6/He in a model-independent (elementary-particle) approach. The results indicate that the angular correlations between the momenta of the recoiling final nuclei and the polarizations of the ..mu../sup -/ and/or the initial nuclei are sensitive to the value of the nuclear pseudoscalar form factors F/sub P/(q/sup 2/). The analysis also indicates that inconsistencies among the available data on ..mu../sup -/ /sup 6/Li ..-->.. ..nu../sub ..mu../ /sup 6/He are most likely of experimental origin.
