Recoil effects in bound muon decay
An unbound muon at rest decays into two neutrinos and an electron. Momentum conservation forbids the electron to have energy greater than one half the muon mass. However, if the muon is bound to a nucleus, its orbital motion -and nuclear recoil make it possible for the decay electron energy to appro...
