Abstract

Influences of nuclear structure on the allowed muon capture processes in 14N are studied. The first 2+ (T=1) state in 14C is found to be strongly excited, followed by a moderate excitation of 1+ state and a weak excitation of the ground state of 14C. The ground state transition exhibits interesting effects of its dominance by [σ × Y2 (r̂)]1 operator. The (2s−1d)2 nuclear excitations may be responsible for the reallocation of the allowed strength to 2+(T=1) states.
