Abstract

The ratio of the muon-capture rate to the beta-decay rate in the weak transitions

{}^{16}O

(

0^{+}

; ground state) ⇄

{}^{16}N

(

0^{-}

; 120 keV) is analyzed in terms of the interplay between mesonic-exchange currents and configuration mixing. It is shown that, up to date, various approaches are too preliminary to yield a quantitative conclusion on the role of mesonic-exchange currents contribution.
