摘要：

Neutron emission by radiationless μ-atomic transitions in Bi209 has been observed. The analysis of the neutron time-of-flight spectrum shows that this process takes place in muon transitions from the n=3 or higher states to the ground state of the muonic atom while the nucleus is left either in the ground state or in an excited state, possibly one belonging to a particle-hole multiplet of Bi208. The process investigated here occurs in 7 ± 2% of all muon stops in bismuth. © 1969 The American Physical Society.
