STATE-BY-STATE CALCULATIONS FOR ALL CHANNELS OF THE EXOTIC (MU(-),E(-)) CONVERSION PROCESS

The coherent and incoherent channels of the neutrinoless muon to elect ron conversion in nuclei, mu(-)(A,Z)-->e(-)(A,Z), are studied through out the periodic table. The relevant nuclear matrix elements are compu ted by explicitly constructing all possible final nuclear states in th e context of the quasiparticle random phase approximation. The obtaine d results are discussed in view of the existing at PSI and TRIUMF expe rimental data for Ti-48 and Pb-208 and compared with results obtained by (i) shell model sum-rule techniques, (ii) nuclear matter mapped int o nuclei via a local density approximation, and (iii) earlier similar calculations.
