Abstract

The influence of the Coulomb field on the decay of a polarized muon from the $K$ shell of a $μ$ atom is considered. Analytical results valid to order $α^{3} Z^{3}$ are presented for the total decay rate and for the electron angular distribution. Formulas valid to order $α^{2} Z^{2}$ are given for the energy spectrum of the emitted electron.
