Muonic hyperfine structure and the Bohr-Weisskopf effect

Abstract

An update is given on the experimental values of the magnetic hyperfine structure and the Bohr-Weisskopf effect in muonic atoms. The need for more measurements and systematic calculations is discussed to allow the differentiation of different models of the Bohr-Weisskopf effect in nuclei.

Comments: 14 pages Updated due to an error in the magnetic moment of 193Ir (3/2) given in Table 2. The correct value is given now Update #2 due to error in magnetic moment of 200Hg, removal of BW data on 197Au as questions on the calculations have not been resolved
