Muon Capture As A Probe Of The Nucleon's Axial Structure - The μCap Experiment
Creators
- 1. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (United States)
Description
The goal of the μCap experiment is a 1% precision measurement of the muon capture rate on the proton. From the capture rate the pseudoscalar form factor gP of the nucleon will be extracted with 7% precision. This basic quantity is predicted theoretically with high precision, but the experimental situation is quite controversial. The new experiment should yield an unambiguous value for gP and a sensitive test of the chiral symmetry of QCD at low energies
