Intrinsic Physics Backgrounds

• Muon Decay in Orbit (DIO)

• ¹ + N → N + º¹ + ºe + e{
• muon decay kinematics modified by atomic environment

• Radiative Muon Capture

• ¹ + N → N´ + º¹ ⇒ N´ → N + ° ⇒ ° → e+ + e{

• Muon Capture with Neutron Emission

• ¹ + N → N´ + º¹ ⇒ N´ → N + n ⇒ neutrons produce e{

• Muon Capture with Charged Particle Emission

• ¹ + N → N´ + º¹ ⇒ N´ → N + X ⇒ X (protons, deuterons, alphas etc) produces e{
