Abstract
A new technique developed to study the spin dynamics of a static positive muon interacting with neighboring nuclear spins is reported. The method is based on the Trotter formula and leads to exact results even when the dimensionality of the composite spin system is very large. First results are presented for the case of muons localized at the interstitial octahedral site in copper in an arbitrary magnetic field.Keywords
