The characteristics of the spin relaxation of muons in liquid and crystalline carbon monoxide have been measured in a transverse magnetic field over the temperature range 10-80 K. Carbon monoxide is an analog of nitrogen, with zero nuclear magnetic moments. The polarization of the muons in CO changes from 0.5 in the crystal to 0.2 in the liquid.
