Description
A calculation of the ground-state hyperfine frequency in muonic helium is given. Perturbation theory is applied to the Schroedinger equation to obtain a series in m/sub e//m/sub μ/. The value obtained is 4462.6 +- 3 MHz, which is consistent with experiments at the Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research and the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility. The theoretical value includes a -46-MHz contribution from excited states of the effective (αμ-)+ nucleus
