Abstract In order to shed new light on the initial loss of muon spin polarization, or socalled “missing fraction”, which is commonly observed in non-metallic solids, we have studied muon-induced excitation in various alkali halides by measuring the luminescences associated with the radiative decay of the self-trapped excitons (STE). The result strongly suggests that the spin-exchange interaction between muonium and muon radiolysis products including STE's causes fast muon depolarization in those materials.
