N2 - We report a measurement of the longitudinal alignment AL of the recoil nucleus in the μ- + 14N(1+, 0) → νμ + 14C(2+, 7012) transition. The experiment was performed on the M9B beamline at the TRIUMF cyclotron via the measurement of the Doppler line shape of the subsequent 14C(2 +, 7012) → 14C(0+, 0) γ rays. We compare our result, AL = 0.60 ± 0.11, to various model calculations and discuss the sensitivity to the induced pseudoscalar coupling, second-forbidden effects, and 2ℏω wave-function admixtures.
