Abstract

We have measured the yields of specific final states excited in the capture of negative muons by ${}^{24}{Mg}$ and ${}^{28}{Si}$ . The yields are compared with the cross sections for excitation of the analog states by 180° electron scattering and with the relative populations of levels produced by the decay of the giant-dipole-resonance states.
