Measurement of Neutron Emissions from Nuclear Muon Capture

The AlCap collaboration is studying particle emission after muon capture on Al and Ti nuclei. Proton and neutron emission are an important source of accidental activity in the Mu2e and COMET experiments, which will search for charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) in neutrino-less muon to electron conversion in the field of an atomic nucleus. A recent experiment was completed at the high intensity piE5 beamline at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) focusing on neutron and gamma emissions from Al. AlCap expects to obtain the bound muon lifetime, the low-energy neutron spectrum, and the neutron emission rates per muon capture. The current state of the analysis will be presented.
