the Ca targets were prepared one day before the run. The Se targets were checked by X-ray diffraction analysis. The measurements were performed with Ge detectors at the CERN synchrocyclotron. A description of the set-up is given elsewhere [4]. Table 1 summarizes the experimental results. Column 1 contains the two transitions, whose intensity ratio is formed separately for each target Columns 2 through 6 show the ratio of the two intensitv ratios of the targets in comparison, e.g. in ihe fourth line of table 1.
Chemical effects were recently found in muonic X-ray spectra [l-3]. In an earlier paper [3] we reported data on such effects. In this letter we want to present results on intensity ratios measured with pions, and additional data for muons. The target pairs consisted of metallic and amorphous Se powder, CaO powder and granulated Ca, and TiO2 and Ti powder.

We thank the Batelle Institute, Geneva, and in particular Dr. Schachner, for X-ray diffraction analyses of the Se targets, and also CERN for its hospitality. for ?I and p, respectively. The values are corrected for self-absorption. The errors are standard deviations. If there were no effects, all the numbers listed in the table would be unity. Effects are evident for all target pairs; these effects are usually stronger for muons than for pions. The most interesting case is that of Se, where the targets differ only in their physical form. Measurements with a Se target which consisted mostly of Se in monoclinic form give, for some transition ratios, even stronger effects than those obtained with amorphous Se. The results are not listed in table 1 because of uncertainties in the target composition. For a discussion of the condensed-state effects we refer to earlier papers [3,5].

Based on the theoretical treatments by Stiller and Stamenkovich of the incoherent neutron scattering at a proton in a double minimum potential well experiments had been performed with KH2P04 single crystals to prove the predicted interference effect.
Stiller [l] and lately Stamenkovich [2] have shown that neutrons which are scattered truly elastically and incoherently by protons tunneling in a double minimum potential well, should show an intereference effect. KH2PO4 single crystals are most suitable for an experimental proof, as the hydrogen bonds are oriented along the x and y axis [3]. Therefore the ratio V of scattered intensity with x vector parallel to the x-axis to the one with 1~vector parallel to the z axis is a sensitive quantity to possible interference effects. (x stands for momentum transfer). In order to distinguish between an anisotropic single well potential and a double minimum potential we dis582
