Re: theory expectation of singlet mu-p capture rate

[Claude Petitjean <claude.petitjean@psi.ch>]

Dear Jan,

thank you very much for your detailed discussion of how you see
the situation conc. pi-N couplings and the various constants
involved.

At present your comments are absolutely sufficient, since our
first experimental result will have a 3 percent error bar. Only,
when the analysis of our bulk data taken last spring is done,
we will arrive at the anticipated 1% error. This may take
another year to be accomplished.

Therefore, the present scatter of theoretical predictions is
in fact smaller than what we will get experimentally at the
forthcoming weekend, and there is no urgent need to do more
immediate work. - We better wait until you return back from your
wonderful sabbatical stay!

Thanks again for your effort and best regards, yours

Claude
