Excited muonic atoms in the actinide region may induce prompt fission. Following atomic muon capture, some of the inner-shell transitions proceed by inverse internal conversion, i.e. , the excitation energy of the muonic atom is transferred to the nucleus. In particular, the (E2: 3d -+ 1s) muonic
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
