Search for muon-electron and muon-positron conversion

  • 1. TRIUMF and University of Victoria, Victoria, B.C., Canada V8W 2Y2

Description

Limits on the lepton flavor violating reactions μ-+Z→e-+Z and μ-+Z→e++(Z-2), muon-electron and muon-position conversion, have been obtained. Upper limits (90% C.L.) for the branching ratios compared to ordinary muon capture are: R/sub -/(Ti) = Γ(μ-Ti→e-Ti)/Γ(μ-Ti capture)<4.6 x 10-12, R/sub +/(Ti) = Γ(μ-Ti→d+Ca*)/Γ(μ-Ti capture)<1.7 x 10-10 and R/sub -/(Pb)<4.9 x 10-10
