Abstract

The μ^--capture rates Λ_μ are calculated for nuclei with N > Z using the self-consistent RPA framework. The μ^--atomic binding energy is introduced in the calculation of Λ_μ and the radial dependence of the muonic wavefunction is taken into account in the matrix elements. The recoil term Λ'_μ is evaluated directly. With the assumption that the nuclear vector, axial vector, and induced pseudo-scalar contributions are equal, good agreement with experiment is obtained.
