High-precision muon decay predictions for ALP searches

چکیده

We present an improved theoretical prediction of the positron energy spectrum for polarised Michel decay $\mu^+\to e^+ \nu_e\bar{\nu}_\mu$. In addition to full next-to-next-to-leading order correction $\alpha^2$ in electromagnetic coupling, we include logarithmically enhanced terms at even higher orders. Logarithms due collinear emission are included next-to-leading accuracy up $\alpha^4$. At endpoint spectrum, soft photon results large logarithms that resummed logarithmic accuracy. apply our context MEG II and Mu3e experiments estimate impact theory error on branching ratio sensitivity lepton-flavour-violating X$ a muon into axion-like particle $X$.

Hunting for Chameleons in ALP searches

We discuss some recent developments in chameleon models presented at the Fourth Patras workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISPs. In particular we discuss the possibility of searching for chameleons in axion-like particle searches performed in the laboratory. Such chameleons may couple to both photons and matter with different coupling strengths. We discuss the exciting possibility of searching for t...

Status and Future Prospects in Searches for New Interactions in Neutron and Nuclear Beta-decay, Muon- and Pion-decay

The interest, the status and the perspectives of various experiments in neutron and nuclear beta-decay, muon-decay and pion-decays are discussed. The talk is segmented into a discussion of the decay-rates and of the energy-spectra and correlations. The impact on various scenarios of ”new physics” is briefly mentioned ; leftright symmetric models are discussed in more detail and the informations...

Muon Monte Carlo: a high-precision tool for muon propagation through matter

An accurate simulation of the propagation of muons through large amounts of matter is needed for the analysis of data produced by muon/neutrino underground experiments. A muon may sustain hundreds of interactions before it is detected by the experiment. Since a small uncertainty introduced hundreds of times may lead to sizable errors, requirements on the precision of the muon propagation code a...

Predictions for energy distribution and polarization of the positron from the polarized muon decay

The pure lepton decay of the polarized muon is considered, accounting for a new tensor interaction which is outside of the Michel local interactions. This interaction leads to new energy distribution and polarization of the final charged lepton. The presence of such a type of interaction is strongly required for the description of the latest experimental results on the weak radiative pion decay...

– 1 – Muon Decay Parameters

Introduction: All measurements in direct muon decay, μ − → e − + 2 neutrals, and its inverse, ν μ + e − → μ − + neutral, are successfully described by the " V-A interaction, " which is a particular case of a local, derivative-free, lepton-number-conserving, four-fermion interaction [1]. As shown below, within this framework, the Standard Model assumptions, such as the V-A form and the nature of...
