Abstract

For twelve elements between sulphur and molybdenum, the energy of the mu-mesonic 2p-1s transition and the difference of these energies for neighbouring elements were measured. Special care has been taken to reduce and to study systematic errors, and the measurements were repeated under different conditions. Some of the control measurements and the data analysis are described. Background spectra are reported. The mu-mesonic 2p-1s energies agree well with those calculated under the assumption that the maximum density of nuclear matter and the surface thickness are constant for the nuclei studied. The intensities of the 3p-1s transition and of an unresolved group of higher K lines have been evaluated relative to the 2p-1s line.
