Ordinary and radiative muon capture in complex nuclei

The total rates of ordinary and radiative muon capture in natural zirconium and molybdenum are calculated within the quasiparticle random phase approximation. The total ordinary-muon-capture rates calculated with the unquenched weak axial-vector coupling are consistent with the experimental data and weakly depend on the weak pseudoscalar coupling. The calculated radiative-muon-capture rates have a clear dependence on the pseudoscalar coupling, but highly overestimate the experimental data. The text was submitted by the authors in English.
