Description
A search with the Crystal Box detector shows no evidence for the lepton-family-number-nonconserving decays μ→eγ, μ→eγγ, or μ→eee. The search provides upper limits for the branching ratios of Γ(μ→eγ)/Γ(μ→evv-bar)<4.9 x 10/sup -11/ (90% C.L.), Γ(μ→eγγ)/Γ(μ→evv-bar)<7.2 x 10/sup -11/ (90% C.L.), and Γ(μ→eee)/Γ(μ→evv-bar)<3.510/sup -11/ (90% C.L.). In addition, a limit for the emission of a light scalar or pseudoscalar boson in radiative muon decay is given
