When a muon bound in an atom decays, there is a small probability that the daughter electron remains bound. That probability is evaluated. Surprisingly, a significant part of the rate is contributed by the negative energy component of the wave function, neglected in a previous study. A simple integral representation of the rate is presented. In the limit of close muon and electron masses, an analytic formula is derived.

  1. An effective field theory for muon conversion and muon decay-in-orbit

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A five-stage EFT tower factorizes QED corrections to muon conversion and decay-in-orbit near the endpoint, yielding a resummed NLL-corrected signal shape.
