Final state interaction effects in mu-capture induced two-body decay of 3He

Abstract

The mu-capture process on 3He leading to a neutron, a deuteron and a mu-neutrino in the final state is studied. Three-nucleon Faddeev wave functions for the initial 3He bound and the final neutron-deuteron scattering states are calculated using the BonnB and Paris nucleon-nucleon potentials. The nuclear weak current operator is restricted to impulse approximation. Large effects on the decay rates of the final state interaction are found. The comparison to recent experimental data shows that the inclusion of final state interactions drastically improves the description of the data.
