  19. Outline • m + p  n + n • m + 3He  3H + n • m + d  n + n + n • m  e + ne + nm

  20. Motivation • m- + d  n + n + nRateLd from md() atom • MeasureLdto < 1.5 % • Simplest weak interaction process in a nucleusallowing for precise theory & experiment • Close relation to neutrino/astrophysics • Broader Impact on modern nuclear physics • EFT relates m+d to strong processes like p+d  g + n +n, ann Jiunn-Wei Chen & Peter Kammel

  21. m + d  n + n + nTheory D p MEC EFT  L1A, dR Low Energy Constants • Axial current reaction • Gamow-Teller 3S1 1S0 • one-body currents well defined • FF, deuteron wavefunction, ann • two-body currents not well constrained by theory (short distance physics) • Methods • Potential model + MEC • hybrid EFT (EFT operators, Pot.Model wavefct) • Effective field theories (EFT)

  22. Connection to Neutrino/Astrophysics • Basic solar fusion reaction • p + p  d + e+ +  • Key reactions for Sudbury Neutrino Observatory • e + d  p + p + e- (CC) • x + d  p + n + x (NC) • Intense theoretical studies, scarce direct data • EFT connection to m+d capture via LEC L1A, • Muon capture soft enough to relate to solar reactions with L1A ~ 6 fm3

  23. Quest for L1A, dR “Calibrate the Sun” • Methods • MuSun:by far the best determination in theoretical clean 2-N system hybrid EFT

  24. Precise Experiment Needed consistent ChPT pionless, needs L1A hybrid EFT Potential Model + MEC

Sci. 2003 … The radiative muon capture in hydrogen was carried out only recently with the results that the derived gP was almost 50% too high. If this results is correct, it would be a sign of new physics that might contribute effectively to V, A or P. 0.5 % LS measurement SM except
