High harmonic generation from muonic atoms in intense VUV laser fields is considered [1]. Our particular interest lies in the effects arising from the finite nuclear mass and size. We study these effects numerically by employing modified soft-core and hard-core potentials. We show that the position of the high-energy cutoff of the harmonic spectrum depends on the nuclear mass, while the height of the spectral plateau is sensitive to the nuclear radius.
