Gamma-rays from Muon Capture in $^{14}$N

Nuclear Experiment 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Many new γ\gamma-rays have been observed, following muon capture on 14^{14}N. One had been reported before, and the low yield is confirmed, indicating that the nuclear structure of 14^{14}N is still not understood. Gamma-rays from 13^{13}C resulting from the reaction 14^{14}N(μ\mu^{-},ν\nun)13^{13}C compare favourably with states observed in the reaction 14^{14}N(γ\gamma,p)13^{13}C. More precise energies are also given for the 7017 and 6730 keV γ\gamma-rays in 14^{14}C.
