Muon capture in hydrogen

Nuclear Theory 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

Theoretical difficulties in reconciling the measured rates for ordinary and radiative muon capture are discussed, based on heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. We also examine ambiguity in our analysis due to the formation of pμ\mup molecules in the liquid hydrogen target.
