Abstract
The neutron channel in muon capture on 4He is calculated. It is shown that asymmetry of the neutron angular distribution when polarized muons are captured is essentially due to the relativistic terms in the muon-nucleon Hamiltonian. Those terms also contribute significantly to the capture rate. The final-state interaction changes the neutron energy spectrum and asymmetry of angular distribution.
