Abstract
The detection of partial muon capture rates in16O forms a sensitive detector for the induced pseudoscalar coupling constant. We here investigate the effects of nucleon velocity terms in the weak Hamiltonian and of realistic nuclear wave-functions. Their inclusion is essential for a correct treatment of the problem. In addition to the previously suggested detector level, we find that capture into the ground state of16N permits an almost complete elimination of nuclear physics by comparison to the β-decay rate.
