Abstract

Level-crossing resonance spectroscopy has been used to determine the yield of muonium atoms formed in water and in hexane through production of muonated free radicals. In the presence of high concentrations of solutes, which yield radicals, all muons injected into the solutions are found either in diamagnetic molecules or free radicals. However, at low concentrations, the free-radical yield was smaller and a "missing fraction" appeared. Inverse yield against inverse concentration plots were not linear, indicating that reactions leading to loss occurred with nonhomogeneously distributed species from the muon's expanding track.
