Experimental searches for lepton-flavor-violating coherent muon-to-electron conversion in the field of a nucleus, have been proposed to reach the unprecedented sensitivity of 10^(-16) - 10^(-18) per stopped muon. At that level, they probe new interactions at effective-mass scales well beyond 1000 TeV. However, they must contend with background from ordinary bound muon decay. To better understand the background-spectrum shape and rate, we have carried out a detailed analysis of Coulombic-bound-state muon decay, including nuclear recoil. Implications for future experiments are briefly discussed.

An effective field theory for muon conversion and muon decay-in-orbit
A five-stage EFT tower factorizes QED corrections to muon conversion and decay-in-orbit near the endpoint, yielding a resummed NLL-corrected signal shape.

Radiative Corrections in Bound States: Recent Results
New calculations of radiative corrections for bound-muon decay rates in light nuclei resolving a Z=8 discrepancy and for parapositronium three-photon decay including Z boson, with the latter rate much smaller than estimated.

$\mu^- \to e^-\gamma$ in a muonic atom as a probe for effective lepton flavor violating operators involving photon fields
A muonic atom's muon can decay to an electron and photon through two-photon flavor-violating operators, and this process could be observable in future muon experiments for heavy target nuclei.
