Chemical effects in the capture of negative muons

Muonic Lyman-series X-ray spectra have been measured for several isoelectronic and isostructural molecular series and related pure elements. Seven muonic Lyman series lines were observed from liquid argon with relative intensities consistent with neighboring isoelectronic ions, but in stark contrast...

Description
Summary:Muonic Lyman-series X-ray spectra have been measured for several isoelectronic and isostructural molecular series and related pure elements. Seven muonic Lyman series lines were observed from liquid argon with relative intensities consistent with neighboring isoelectronic ions, but in stark contrast to the single line previously reported for a gaseous argon target. The measured relative capture rates and Lyman intensity correlations provide new evidence for chemical structure influences on the capture of negative muons.
