Abstract
It has been known for some time that the intensity ratio between the (2p3/2-Is1/2) and (2p1/2-Is1/2) muonic X-rays for 127I is anomalously smaller than the theoretical value 1.95. Several theorists(1),(2),(3) have suggested that this may be explained by nuclear resonance excitation. We have observed the muonic N, M, L and K X-rays from 127I, and have calculated a theoretical spectrum within the framework of a resonance process. The resonance is between the 2p fine structure splitting and the nuclear ground and the first excited states. A satisfactory fit to the experimental data has been obtained. From this fit we have determined the M1 and E2 hfs constants for the is and 2p states, and have obtained a quantitative interpretation of the observed intensity ratios.
