Abstract
Muon spin relaxation has been measured in longitudinal magnetic fields for Mu+CO and Mu+N2O reactions. The interpretation of the results for these small molecules, which are quite different than those obtained in larger molecule systems (e.g., Mu‐ethyl and Mu‐t‐butyl radicals), are made with the phenomenological model for Mu‐radical spin relaxation previously proposed. Proper fitting procedures are important in these cases and are discussed in the present paper.
