Abstract
The muon-capture process and the decay are analyzed in the elementary particle treatment. Theoretical results are shown to be consistent with experiment and do not support any necessity of a significant upward renormalization of the nucleon form factor in nuclei as suggested by a previous analysis by Palffy etal. Slight downward renormalization of is consistent with experimental data.
