Muons and New Physics

چکیده
The muon is an elementary particle. It has the same electric charge and spin as electron, but it about two hundred times heavier. was unexpected when observed in cosmic ray experiments 1936. “Who ordered that?” Isidor Rabi asked. Results concerning continue to surprise physicists may even point strong evidence for physics lying beyond Standard Model.

Using muons to probe for new physics
Searches for new physics using muons are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to muon number non-conserving processes, like the decay μ → eγ and muon–electron conversion in muonic atoms. Also, experimental determinations and theoretical predictions for the muon anomalous magnetic moment are reviewed. Muons were first observed in cosmic ray detectors in 1936 [1, 2]. However, for several follow...
متن کاملPhysics of Muons
Similar to the electron, the muon is an elementary particle classified as a lepton with a negative charge and half-spin. Naturally-occurring muons are created due to cosmic rays and travel at relativistic speeds and thus feel the effects of time dilation. Due to this the lifetime of the muon is heavily dependent on the speed at which it is moving. We will discuss the lifetime and decay of the m...
متن کاملPhysics with a Millimole of Muons
The eventual prospect of muon colliders reaching several TeV encourages us to consider the experimental opportunities presented by very copious stores of muons, approaching 10 per year. I summarize and comment upon some highlights of the Fermilab Workshop on Physics at the First Muon Collider and at the Front End of a Muon Collider. Topics include various varieties of μμ colliders, μp colliders...
متن کاملPhysics with Low-energy Muons at a Neutrino Factory Complex
The physics potential of an intense source of low-energy muons is studied. Such a source is a necessary stage towards building the neutrino factories and muon colliders which are being considered at present. The CERN Neutrino Factory could deliver muon beams with intensities 3–4 orders of magnitude higher than available now, with large freedom in the choice of the time structure. Low-energy muo...
متن کاملFree Muons and Muonium - Some Achievements and Possibilities in Low Energy Muon Physics
Introduction The Standard Model (SM) is a theory framework, which allows an accurate description of all confirmed measurements in particle physics up to turn of the century. However, many observations are left without deeper explanations. Among those are the fundamental fermion mass spectrum, the origins of parity and CP violation, the fact of exactly three particle generations and many more. A...
