Résumé :

Observations on the decay and capture of μ-mesons in Kodak NT4 and Ilford G5 photographic emulsions are described. It is found, in agreement with other workers, that 63±4% of all μ-mesons stopping in the emulsion decay with the emission of a fast electron, a result which is shown to be in reasonable agreement with theoretical predictions. The emission of slow electrons is observed from 7.2±1.3% of all slow mesons, and these are ascribed mainly to an Auger effect accompanying the capture of μ-mesons.
