Average muonic Coulomb capture probabilities for 65 elements

Determination of muon attenuation lengths in depth profiles from in situ produced cosmogenic nuclides

“…3 on the measured concentrations then permit the determination of the mean attenuation length that not only takes into account the entire energy spectrum of the muon particles depending on their specific initial incidence angles, but also that integrates all the nuclear interactions with the chemical elements encountered along the various pathways. This chemical composition influence has already been considered in previous studies [28,11] but only mean values are available for few minerals [29].…”

Low energy neutrinos from stopped muons in the Earth

“…In order to estimate the µ − decay and nuclear capture probabilities, we should firstly consider the relative abilities of atomic capture for different elements in the rock. Egidy and Hartmann [19] find a semi-empirical approach and give the average atomic capture probability P(Z) for 65 elements, normalized to 1 for 16 O. For the rock chemical composition, we take the upper continental crust data from Ref.…”

High-Spin Consequences of Octupole Shape in Nuclei aroundTh222

“…Better theoretical insight has been achieved into the microscopic origin of intrinsic "octupole shape" and its consequences for nuclear spectroscopy, 1 " 7 in conjunction with a range of new experiments. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] For rotational bands, molecular spectroscopy suggests that reflection asymmetry is characterized by spin states / of alternating parity p = (-l) 7 , connected by collective E\ transitions. This situation was in fact recently observed 14,15 in nuclear spectroscopy at high spins (/ -4-17) for the nucleus 222 Th, which had previously been identified theoretically as a good candidate for reflection asymmetry.…”
