Abstract
The energy spectrum of neutrons emitted following the capture of negative muons in silicon, sulfur, and calcium has been measured between 7.7 and 52.5 MeV. The spectra were found to decrease exponentially with energy in the three cases, and no evidence was found for excitation of giant dipole resonances.Keywords
