Abstract: Ordinary muon capture is a nuclear-weak process in which a negatively charged muon, initially bound on an atomic orbit, is captured by the atomic nucleus, resulting in atomic number reduction by one and emission of a muon neutrino. Thanks to the high momentum transfer involved in the process, it is one of the most promising probes for the hypothetical neutrinoless double-beta decay. With the recent renaissance of muon-capture experiments, reliable theory estimates are now of paramount importance. In my talk, I will discuss my recent studies on muon capture on light nuclei, 6Li, 12C, 16O and 24Mg, using two different ab initio nuclear techniques.
