Electroweak radiative corrections to muon capture on nuclei are computed and found to be sizable. They enhance the capture rates for hydrogen and helium by 2.8% and 3.0% respectively. As a result, the value of the induced pseudoscalar coupling, g_P^exp, extracted from a recent hydrogen 1S singlet capture experiment is increased by about 21% to g_P^exp = 7.3 +/- 1.2 and brought into good agreement with the prediction of chiral perturbation theory, g_P^theory=8.2 +/- 0.2. Implications for helium capture rate predictions are also discussed.

  1. The Nucleon Axial Form Factor from Elementary Target Data

    hep-ex 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    The nucleon axial form factor from hydrogen and lattice-QCD data falls more slowly with Q² than deuterium-based fits, indicating deuterium extractions are biased low.
