Measurements of the Nuclear Gamma Rays in Muonic Atoms of Several Deformed Nuclei

Abstract
The energy shifts of the nuclear gamma rays from the first rotational states of Nd150, Sm152, Gd154, Er166, W182, W184, and W186 due to the presence of a muon in a 1s state have been measured. The shifts are related to changes in the nuclear mean-square charge radius, and are compared with Mössbauer isomer-effect measurements.
