Radiative Muon Capture on 3He

  • Conference paper
Few-Body Problems in Physics ’99

Part of the book series: Few-Body Systems ((FEWBODY,volume 12))

Abstract

The radiative muon capture process has been observed in 3He by detecting a high-energy photon in coincidence with the recoil triton. A cylindrical pair spectrometer and a scintillating liquid 3He target were used to detect the photon and triton, respectively. The resulting photon spectrum is compared to impulse approximation calculations both with and without meson exchange corrections. The calculations over-estimate the measured spectrum by 30% and 20%, respectively. The recoil energy spectrum indicates that only 11% of the total radiative capture rate goes to final states which include deuterons and protons, with the remainder of the rate going to a triton final state.
