Number projected QRPA calculation of muon capture rates

In the present work we evaluate the 56Fe(μ−,νμ)56Mn process using the BCS, PBCS, QRPA and PQRPA models as nuclear models. We show the behavior of the muon capture rates as a function of the t‐parameter, strength of the pp‐channel in the residual δ‐interaction. The obtained results for the muon capture rates show that the projection procedure is important for medium mass nuclei as 56Fe.
