Abstract

The description of the muon capture system units with different targets (gas and solid-state) is presented. Using the muon-event selection system and high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, precise measurements of the time-energy distributions following ordinary muon capture in the isotopically-enriched 130Xe, 82Kr, and 24Mg nuclei were performed. The optimal parameters of the muon capture measuring system to ensure maximum muon stops in the targets under study and to collect effective statistics during measurements are reported. The system makes it possible to separate muonic X-ray events from gamma radiation with high accuracy, which is critical in such studies, and it is also suitable for future measurements with other targets.
