Partial Radiative Muon Capture on 12C
Abstract
I report on a calculation of radiative muon capture on 12C(g.s.) to 12B(g.s.), done within the framework of the impulse approximation and a standard shell-model description of the nucleus. It is shown that the photon asymmetry as well as polarization and alignment of the 12B nucleus depends strongly on the magnitude of the induced pseudoscalar coupling. The effects of possible contributions of second-class axial currents are also studied.
