    Abstract:
    The effect of the collisions experienced by a muon moving through an atom may be described by introducing a frictional force in the classical equations of motion. In the region of the electronic K shell, the Auger transitions should be treated quantum-mechanically. This calculation of the energy spectrum of the captured muons and the angular momentum distributions of muons at the electronic K orbit includes the interrelation between the stopping power of the electron gas and capture. There is a close resemblance between the P(L) distribution of angular momentum and the statistical 2L+1 distribution
