Abstract The energy distributions of neutrons fromμ capture in Tl, Pb, and Bi were measured applying a time-of-flight technique, using de-excitationγ-rays from final nuclei as a time reference. The spectra exhibit an evaporation part, which is described by nuclear temperatures varying fromθ=1.06 MeV for Bi toθ=1.22 MeV for Pb, and an exponentially decreasing high-energy distribution with a relative intensity of ∼10%, which is interpreted, on the basis of a simple model, as being due to direct and pre-compound processes.
