Search for the muon-number violating decay μ → e+e+e-

Creators

Description

A search has been performed for the muon-number-violating decay μ → e+e+e-. No candidate event has been found, yielding an upper limit for the branching ratio of B/sub μ3e/ < 1.3 x 10-10 (90% C.L.). From part of the data taken with a trigger that enhanced μ+ → e+e+e- anti nu/sub μ/nu/sub e/ events, 11 such events were observed. They agree in number and spectra with expectations based on standard electroweak theory. 9 references
