Muon capture on35Cl

Abstract

We report measurements of γ-ray spectra from muon capture on 35 Cl. For the allowed Gamow-Teller transitions to the 35 S(2939, 3/2 + ) state and the 35 S(3421, 5/2 + ) state we obtained their capture rates, hyperfine dependences and γ-ν correlation coefficients. The capture rates and hyperfine dependences were compared to shell model calculations using the complete 1s-0d space and the universal SD interaction. With g p /g a = 6.7 and g a = −1.00 (or g a = −1.26) we found agreement of the model and the data at the 1-2 σ level. However, we caution that the transitions are sensitive to ℓ = 2 forbidden matrix elements.Typeset using REVT E X 1
