Measurement of the Rate of Muon Capture in Hydrogen Gas and Determination of the Proton's Pseudoscalar Coupling
V. A. Andreev, T. I. Banks, T. A. Case +33
The rate of nuclear muon capture by the proton has been measured using a new experimental technique based on a time projection chamber operating in ultra-clean, deuterium-depleted…
Measurement of the Formation Rate of Muonic Hydrogen Molecules
MuCap Collaboration, V. A. Andreev, T. I. Banks +33
Background: The rate λ_ppμ characterizes the formation of ppμ molecules in collisions of muonic pμ atoms with hydrogen. In measurements of the basic weak muon capture reaction…
Measurement of Muon Capture on the Proton to 1% Precision and Determination of the Pseudoscalar Coupling g_P
V. A. Andreev, T. I. Banks, R. M. Carey +32
The MuCap experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute has measured the rate L_S of muon capture from the singlet state of the muonic hydrogen atom to a precision of 1%. A muon beam w…
Muon Capture on the Deuteron -- The MuSun Experiment
V. A. Andreev, R. M. Carey, V. A. Ganzha +28
We propose to measure the rate \Rd\ for muon capture on the deuteron to better than 1.5% precision. This process is the simplest weak interaction process on a nucleus that can both…
