Abstract

Muon capture on hydrogen gives a unique possibility for a measurement of the pseudoscalar form factor g_p(q²c = -0.88 m²_μ) of the nucleonic weak current, thus providing a sensitive test of the QCD chiral symmetry perturbation theory which predicts the value of this form factor with a precision of Ag_p/g_p ≃ 2%. For adequate comparison with theory, the muon capture rate Λ_c should be measured with a precision of ΔΛ_c/Λ_c ≤ 1%, that is an order of magnitude better than the precision of the present world data. We report on the project of an experiment designed to provide the required precision. Also, we present the final result of our previous experiment on a high precision measurement of the μ ³He capture rate and compare this result with the PCAC prediction.
