Abstrakt: The probabilities for non-radiative (n.r.) excitations P in the muonic nuclidesPb,Th, andU have been determined from (μ,γγ)-measurements by comparing the intensities of muonic X-ray transitions in single and coincidence spectra. The value of P (3 p→1 s), measured for the first time, is about 90% for the actinidesTh andU, but only about 8% forPb. The value of P (3 d→1 s) is found to be 10 % forTh, 13% forU, and about 4% forPb. ForPb a vanishing strength of the n.r. decay of the 2 p-level is found, while forTh and forU n.r. strengths of about 20% and 26%, respectively, are observed. By regarding two subcomplexes of the 2 p→1 s transitions leading to different mean excitation energies the n.r. transition probabilities were found to be different forU only, 21.6% and 31.1.%, respectively.
