Description

Precise measurements of the K X-ray energy spectrum of muonic hydrogen (μ-p) were made at H2 gas pressures between 0.25 and 150 torr (T = 300 K). The measured intensity ratios I(Ksub(α))/I(Ksub(tot)) and I(Ksub(β))/I(Ksub(γdelta)...) are compared with the results of new cascade calculations. The pressure dependence of the relative (μp)sub(2S) population was investigated. Its value is (4.24+-0.14)% at 10 torr and (2.21+-0.22)% at 0.25 torr. (orig.)
