Decay of a bound muon into a bound electron
read the original abstract
When a muon bound in an atom decays, there is a small probability that the daughter electron remains bound. That probability is evaluated. Surprisingly, a significant part of the rate is contributed by the negative energy component of the wave function, neglected in a previous study. A simple integral representation of the rate is presented. In the limit of close muon and electron masses, an analytic formula is derived.

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.
