Sv. Romanov, ANGULAR PHOTON-ELECTRON CORRELATIONS INDUCED BY THE WEAK INTERACTION OF NEUTRAL CURRENTS IN LIGHT MUONIC ATOMS, Zeitschrift fur Physik. D, Atoms, molecules and clusters, 32(4), 1995, pp. 273-283
The weak interaction of neutral currents of the negative muon and a nu
cleus leads to observable P-odd correlations in the one-photon 2s-->1s
transition of light muonic atoms. Recently the author has been analyz
ed how these correlations are affected by the mixing of the 2p1/2 and
2p3/2 orbits induced by the hyperfine muon-nucleus interaction. P-odd
terms in an angular distribution and circular polarization of photons
have been considered as an example. The above mixing proved to be sign
ificant in muonic beryllium and boron. The present work continues this
analysis. The effect of the mixing on P-odd terms of angular correlat
ions between momenta of the photon radiated in the 2s-->1s transition
and a hard electron emitted in the mu-decay at the Is orbit is studied
here. This effect is found to be also significant. Moreover, the poss
ibility of using the magnetic spin rotation to observe the angular cor
relations is discussed. A special experimental geometry is suggested.
Its use allows uncertainties resulting from the absence of data on the
orientation of the angular mu-atom momentum in the 2s state to be min
imized.
