Ordinary muon capture (OMC) on enriched Mo100 isotopes was studied for the first time to investigate neutrino nuclear responses for neutrinoless double-β decays and supernova neutrino nuclear interactions. Muon capture on Mo100 proceeds mainly as Mo100(μ,xn)Nb100-x with x being the number of neutron...
