μ→e+γ: why so interesting
Description
The attempts at an implementation of muon number nonconservation in the gauge theory framework are presented. After discussing the experimental and theoretical constraints in constructing models, the author focuses on the proposed explanations for a possible violation of muon number and investigates the experimental implications. The background of μ→e+γ due to radiative muon decay is analyzed with the conclusion that it cannot explain the six events seen at SIN. (Auth.)
