Muon Capture on Deuteron and 3He: A Personal Review

Nuclear Theory 2013-05-14 v1 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

The present status of theoretical and experimental studies of muon capture reactions on light nuclei is reviewed. In particular, the recent results for the two reactions 2H(\mu^-,\nu_\mu)nn and 3He(\mu^-,\nu_\mu)3H are presented, and the unresolved discrepancies among different measurements and calculations, open problems, and future developments are discussed.
