Muon Capture in Deuterium
Model dependence of the capture rates of the negative muon capture in deuterium is studied starting from potential models and the weak two-body meson exchange currents constructed in the tree approximation and also from an effective field theory. The tree one-boson exchange currents are derived from the hard pion chiral Lagrangians of the $N Δπρωa_1$ system. If constructed in conjunction with the one-boson exchange potentials, the capture rates can be calculated consistently. On the other hand, the effective field theory currents, constructed within the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory,…

Comment on "Nuclear structure corrections in muonic deuterium"
A recent letter [1] investigated the effects of deuteron polarizability in the mu D atom. The importance of understanding this atom has been heightened because of the possible light it could shed on the proton radius puzzle. Here we confirm, clarify, and emphasize the significance of the result [1] that the effects of the third Zemach moment are canceled by part of the deuteron polarizability effects. 1. K.

Calculation of Doublet Capture Rate for Muon Capture in Deuterium within Chiral Effective Field Theory
The doublet capture rate of the negative muon capture in deuterium is calculated employing the nuclear wave functions generated from accurate nucleon-nucleon potentials constructed at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order of heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory and the weak meson exchange current operator derived within the same formalism. All but one of the low-energy constants that enter the calculation were fixed from pion-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon scattering data. The low-energy constant d^R (c_D), which cannot be determined from the purely two-nucleon data, was extracted recently fro…

Radiative 3He(2H,g)5Li capture at low deuterium energy
The results are presented on the total cross sections, astrophysical S-factor, reaction rate of the deuteron radiative capture on 3He at the temperatures from 0.03 up to 3 T9 calculated in the framework of the potential cluster model with the forbidden states coming from the classification of the orbital states by the Young diagrams. Within the used model and exploited Young diagram classification made it possible to reproduce the general features of the available experimental data on the cross section and reconstructed astrophysical S-factor in the energy range from 200 keV up to 1.4 MeV. The…

Slow proton production in deep-inelastic neutrino scattering on deuterium
The cross section for semi-inclusive deep inelastic charged current neutrino scattering on hydrogen and deuterium in which a slow proton is observed in coincidence with the muon is computed as a function of Bjorken x and light-cone momentum of the detected proton. In the Impulse Approximation contributions from hadronization and (in case of the deuteron) the emission of a spectator nucleon are considered. In addition the probability for rescattering is computed. The results are compared to a recent analysis of the data from the WA25 (BEBC) experiment at CERN. (KVI-1024)

Bayesian estimation of thermonuclear reaction rates for deuterium+deuterium reactions
The study of d+d reactions is of major interest since their reaction rates affect the predicted abundances of D, 3He, and 7Li. In particular, recent measurements of primordial D/H ratios call for reduced uncertainties in the theoretical abundances predicted by big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). Different authors have studied reactions involved in BBN by incorporating new experimental data and a careful treatment of systematic and probabilistic uncertainties. To analyze the experimental data, Coc et al. (2015) used results of ab initio models for the theoretical calculation of the energy dependenc…

Muon Capture on the Deuteron -- The MuSun Experiment
We propose to measure the rate \Rd\ for muon capture on the deuteron to better than 1.5% precision. This process is the simplest weak interaction process on a nucleus that can both be calculated and measured to a high degree of precision. The measurement will provide a benchmark result, far more precise than any current experimental information on weak interaction processes in the two-nucleon system. Moreover, it can impact our understanding of fundamental reactions of astrophysical interest, like solar pp fusion and the $ν+d$ reactions observed by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. Recent effe…

First calculation of cosmic-ray muon spallation backgrounds for MeV astrophysical neutrino signals in Super-Kamiokande
When muons travel through matter, their energy losses lead to nuclear breakup ("spallation") processes. The delayed decays of unstable daughter nuclei produced by cosmic-ray muons are important backgrounds for low-energy astrophysical neutrino experiments, e.g., those seeking to detect solar neutrino or Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB) signals. Even though Super-Kamiokande has strong general cuts to reduce these spallation-induced backgrounds, the remaining rate before additional cuts for specific signals is much larger than the signal rates for kinetic energies of about 6 -- 18 Me…

Pions in hot dense matter and their astrophysical implications
We study the role of pions in hot dense matter encountered in astrophysics. We find that strong interactions enhance the number density of negatively charged pions and that this enhancement can be calculated reliably for a relevant range of density and temperature using the virial expansion. We assess the influence of pions and muons on the equation of state (EOS) and weak interaction rates in hot dense matter. We find that thermal pions increase the proton fraction and soften the EOS. We also find that charged current weak reactions involving pions and muons $\barν_μ+μ^- \rightarrow π$ and $ν…

Thermonuclear fusion rates for tritium + deuterium using Bayesian methods
The $^3$H(d,n)$^4$He reaction has a large low-energy cross section and will likely be utilized in future commercial fusion reactors. This reaction also takes place during big bang nucleosynthesis. Studies of both scenarios require accurate and precise fusion rates. To this end, we implement a one-level, two-channel R-matrix approximation into a Bayesian model. Our main goals are to predict reliable astrophysical S-factors and to estimate R-matrix parameters using the Bayesian approach. All relevant parameters are sampled in our study, including the channel radii, boundary condition parameters,…
