Description
The self-energy of a μ particle in symmetric nuclear matter is investigated by using a boson exchange model for the μN interaction. The imaginary part of the self-energy is shown to be strongly density dependent and has saturation properties around rho approx.= 0.7 rho0. This peculiar feature allows our results to be in good agreement with the μ atom data while simultaneously providing a width of about 5 MeV or smaller for all nuclei and different states. (orig.)
