Abstract
Muonic x rays in were measured with high precision and in addition two of the weak transitions involving the state were identified and measured for the first time. The new constraints make it difficult to fit the data with Dirac energies calculated for a finite nucleus and corrected for radiative effects. Consistency can, however, be achieved by depressing the calculated energy by 6.8×2.3 keV, an effect tentatively interpreted as due to polarization of the nucleus by the muon.
