Orientations of the recoil nucleus in muon capture

  • 1. Department of Nuclear Physics, University of Madras, Madras 600 025, India

Description

General expressions are derived for all possible even and odd order tensor orientations of recoil nuclei, recoiling into the forward (or backward) hemisphere in the reaction μ- + A (J/sub i/ = 0) → B (J/sub f/ > or = 1) + ν/sub μ/. Numerical results are presented for the case of muon capture by 16O
