Abstract:
The energies of muonic 2p-1s X-rays in 10B and 11B have been measured to be 52217(8) eV and 52279(5) eV, from which the rms nuclear charge radii were calculated to be 2.44(6) fm and 2.38(4) fm. The energies and widths of pionic 2p-1s X-rays have been measured in 10B to be 65901(13) eV and 1780(30) eV, and in 11B to be 65120(26) and 1720(80) eV. The sensitivity of the strong interaction shift to the neutron matter distributions has been investigated using an optical-model approach. The results of these calculations are not in good agreement with the experimental results when reasonable values of the nuclear matter distributions are used.
