Uncertainty estimates for muon capture on the deuteron

ORAL

Abstract

Muon capture on the deuteron is a two-body electroweak process that can provide information on the properties of the electroweak current in nuclear effective field theory but also the three-body force in the nuclear Hamiltonian. I will discuss recent progress on the calculation of the rate for this process and corresponding uncertainty estimates.
