Radiative muon capture on nuclei

Radiative muon capture rates of stopped meons, spectra, circular polarisation, and asymmetries of emitted -quanta in¹⁶O and⁴⁰Ca are analysed using the shell-model nuclear wave functions. Calculated characteristics show considerable sensitivity to the value of induced pseudoscalar coupling constantg_p. Where possible we compare the theoretical results with the preliminary experimental data.Dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.On leave of absence fromthe Institute of Nuclear Physics, Czechosl.
