Abstract

We present calculations of the process μP→ νnγ for coincidence measurements of both n and γ, aimed at an improved experimental estimate of the induced pseudoscalar weak coupling (gp). The elementary particle approach used is then applied to calculations of μ−3He→ ν3Hγ. This latter work includes a discussion on how to relate intermediate-state nuclear excitations to other observable processes, so as to again permit extraction of information regarding gp. Also we discuss experimentally feasible measurements briefly for the 3He case.
