Nuclear many-body effects on particle emission following muon capture on Si28 and Ca40

Muon captures on nuclei have provided us with plenty of knowledge of nuclear properties. Recently, this reaction attracts attention in electronics, because it is argued that charged particle emissions following muon capture on silicon trigger non-negligible soft errors in memory devices. To investigate the particle emissions from a nuclear physics point of view, we develop a new approach using a microscopic model of muon capture and up-to-date particle emission models. We paid attention to the muon capture rates, the particle emission spectra, and the multiplicities that have a close interrelation with each other, and found that the nuclear many-body correlation including two-particle two-hole excitations is a key to explaining them simultaneously.
