Abstract The probability for non-radiative (n.r.) excitations in muonic209Bi was determined from a (μ −,γγ)-measurement by comparing the intensities of muonic X-ray transitions in single and coincidence spectra. The values of Pn.r(3p→1s)=(17.9±2.0)% and Pn.r.(3d→1s)=(3.0±2.2)% were measured for the first time. The strength of the n.r. decay of the 2p-level was found to be (4.2±2.2)%. The n.r. transition probabilities of two subcomplexes of the (2p→1s)-transition leading to different mean excitation energies are (3.2±1.8)% and (5.0±2.0)%, respectively.
