Effects of the Giant Resonance on the Energy Spectra of Neutrons Emitted Following Muon Capture in ${}^{12}C$ and ${}^{16}O$

Abstract

The spectra of neutrons emitted following muon capture in carbon and oxygen are presented with a resolution of 6.5% at 5 MeV and a precision of 5%. The carbon spectrum is dominated by a broad peak at 4.2 MeV, while the oxygen spectrum is dominated by a narrower peak at 5.1 MeV. Partial transition rates for these two peaks are given. This structure supports theoretical predictions of the excitation of the giant resonance in the capture process.
