Abstract
Precision measurements in muon capture on He-3 to the triton channel p rovide for interesting tests of the charged electroweak interaction, w hether within the Standard Model or beyond it. Based on the statistica l capture rate and the triton asymmetry, both the object of recent and on-going experiments using polarised He-3 targets, examples of such r ests are presented, and shown to lead to stringent complementary const raints for which further dedicated experimental as well as theoretical efforts are required.
