Abstract
Some recent results from LAMPF on the diffusion of positive muons in metals are discussed. The depolarization rate in very high purity vanadium falls below the rates found earlier in lower purity targets at LAMPF and SREL, showing that the claim of Fiory et al. that the intrinsic μ+ hopping rate was being measured is not justified. The addition of 500 ppm of oxygen to this very high purity V sample gives rise to a broad peak in the depolarization rate, with its maximum at 15 K but extending to room temperature (Fig. 1).
