Abstract: | The ortho-para transition rate in the pμp molecule has been found experimentally to be λOP = (4.1 ± 1.4) × 104 s?1. Our recent result for the muon capture rate in liquid hydrogen can now be interpreted to extract the ortho-molecular capture rate: λOM = (531 ± 33) s?1. A deduction of the pseudoscalar coupling constant gpμ is presented: we find gpμ = 8.7 ± 1.9. |
