Abstract

The dipole interaction between a muon, which forms a paramagnetic state in a solid, and neighboring nuclei leads to a relaxation of the hyperfine oscillations which are observed in transverse magnetic field experiments. It is shown how the damping rates, which depend on the superhyperfine interaction and the strength and orientation of the external field, can be calculated. An explicit expression for the relaxation function of anomalous muonium is derived which is valid for high fields and negligible quadrupole interactions. The determination of the muon site in the general case and the realxation function of normal muonium are discussed.
