Abstract: | The capture of a muon by protons at different hydrogen densities is considered. More precise values of γ-factors for ortho- and para-states of the muonic molecule ppμ are obtained: 2γo = 1.009±0.001 and 2γp = 1.143±0.001. Relativistic effects are taken into account in the muonic molecule, and the rate of ortho-para transitions λop = (7.1±1.2) × 104s?1, caused by these effects, is calculated. With this value of λop the μ-capture rate in liquid hydrogen is found to be Λc = (490±10)s?1 that is in agreement with the value Λc = 460±20 s? recently measured by the Saclay-CERN-Bologna collaboration. |
