Description
Electroweak processes in few-body systems are relevant to nuclear
astrophysics, searches for physics beyond the standard model and
provide additional insight into the nuclear Hamiltonian. Specifically,
effective field theories have opened avenues to provide quantitative
statements for theoretical calculations. Muon capture on the deuteron
is one process that is anticipated to provide information on the
electroweak axial two-nucleon coupling. I discuss recent developments
and calculations that prepare for forthcoming experimental results and
relate it to other electroweak process in few-body systems.
