Abstract
The weak interaction of neutral currents of the negative muon and nucl eons results in arising P-odd correlations in the radiative 2s-->1s mu on-ion transition. At the present paper we consider how the hyperfine muon-electron interaction influences forming these correlations in the muonic ion mu-Ne-20 with one K-electron. It is shown that the general form of expressions describing a P-odd asymmetry of an angular distri bution of the quanta and their circular polarization does not depend o n electron configurations. On the other hand such dependence takes pla ce for expressions describing an angular correlation between the momen ta of the quantum and the hard electron emitted in the mu-decay proces s at the 1s-orbit. Therefore we think that measuring the P-odd asymmet ry of the angular distribution is the preferable experiment for studyi ng the neutral currents interaction. The spin polarization of the muon at the 2s-orbit can be obtained by measuring the circular polarizatio n of the quanta in the same experiment.
