Abstract

The radiative-pion-capture rate from a number of low-lying Bohr orbits in He4 is calculated. It is shown that the peak in the γ spectrum is caused by transitions to broad 2 and 1 resonances in He4. The angular correlation of the low-energy neutrons with the direction of the γ ray is shown to be strongly dependent on the orbital-angular-momentum value of the Bohr orbit from which capture occurs, thus affording an independent check of atomic deexcitation studies in pionic atoms.
