15 Dec 2011 | Abstract: | The TWIST collaboration has completed its measurement of the three muon decay
parameters $
ho$, $delta$, and $P_muxi$. This paper describes our
determination of $
ho$, which governs the shape of the overall momentum
spectrum, and $delta$, which controls the momentum dependence of the
parity-violating decay asymmetry. The results are $
ho=0.749,77pm
0.000,12( ext{stat.})pm 0.000,23( ext{syst.})$ and $delta = 0.750,49pm
0.000,21( ext{stat.})pm 0.000,27( ext{syst.})$. These are consistent with
the value of 3/4 given for both parameters in the standard model, and each is
over a factor of ten more precise than the measurements published prior to
TWIST. Our final results on $
ho$, $delta$, and $P_muxi$ have been
incorporated into a new global analysis of all available muon decay data,
resulting in improved model-independent constraints on the possible weak
interactions of right-handed particles. | Source: | arXiv, 1112.3606 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
