A determination of the formation rate of muonic hydrogen molecules in the MuCap experiment
The MuCap experiment measures the mu^- disappearance rate, l_-, in a gaseous hydrogen time projection chamber (TPC) and compares it to the free mu^+ decay rate, l_+, to obtain the mu p singlet capture rate L_S. The motivation is a determination of the pseudoscalar form factor, g_P, of the proton, …

Measurement of the Rate of Muon Capture in Hydrogen Gas and Determination of the Proton's Pseudoscalar Coupling
The MuCap experiment, the data analysis leading to the result for Lambda S, and contextual information are described in this dissertation. In the first chapter, a brief historical review of previous measurements of muon capture on the proton introduces many of the experimental challenges. The next …

A measurement of the rate of muon capture in an ultra-pure protium gas time projection chamber
The MuCap experiment is designed to measure the disappearance rate of negative muons in an ultra-pure protium gas to a precision of 15 ppm using a time projection chamber (TPC). Combined with precise knowledge of the rate of free muon decay, this determines the capture rate for the mu-p atom in the …
