Muon Capture in He3

(Received September 25, 1963)

Abstract:

The transition rate of the particular muon capture reaction between the ground states of He3 and H3 is calculated in a completely relativistic fashion, in which all the structure effects are reduced to form factors. The computed capture rate agrees well with the experimental data, provided that the induced pseudoscalar term has the same sign as, and a magnitude close to what Goldberger-Treiman found for the nucleon in the dispersion theoretic approach.
