A recent measurement of the hyperfine splitting in the ground state of Li-like $^{209}$Bi$^{80+}$ has established a "hyperfine puzzle" -- the experimental result exhibits a 7$\sigma$ deviation from the theoretical prediction [J. Ullmann et…
The magnetic field generated by a bound muon in heavy muonic atoms results in an induced nuclear magnetic dipole moment even for otherwise spinless nuclei. This dipole moment interacts with the muon, altering the binding energy of the…

We calculate the transverse muon polarization in the decay $K^{\pm}\to\pi^0\mu^{\pm}\nu$ induced by the electromagnetic two-photon final-state interaction. For the central part of the Dalitz plot the typical value of this polarization is…
As the deepest group V donor in Si, Bi has by far the largest hyperfine interaction, and also a large I=9/2 nuclear spin. At zero field this splits the donor ground state into states having total spin 5 and 4, which are fully resolved in…
