A Monte Carlo calculation of the angular distribution of muons in lead
Description
The penetration of an initially parallel muonic beam at normal incidence on to a Pb target is studied. It is shown by a simple Monte Carlo simulation that the muons change their initial orientation with decreasing energy below 50 keV. This explained why no angular anisotropy of the mesic atom x-ray emission was measured in the experiments on meson capture by heavy atoms. (author)
