Abstract

The lifetime of negative muons in the 129Xe 1s state was measured. The muon capture rate in 129Xe is compared with that in the 132, 136Xe isotopes. The capture rate was found to depend on the mass number of the cited isotopes. The experimental results are compared with the results of calculations by the semiempirical Goulard-Primakoff formula.
