AbstractThe KARMEN experiment uses the reaction 12C( u_e,e-)12N to measure the energy distribution of u_e emitted in muon decay at rest. The u_e analog omega_l of the famous Michel parameter ho has been derived from a maximum-likelihood analysis of events near the kinematic end point, E_max. The result, omega_l = (2.7^{+3.8}_{-3.3}pm 3.1) * 10^{-2}, is in good agreement with the standard model prediction omega_l= 0. We deduce a 90% confidence upper limit of omega_l <= 0.113, which corresponds to a limit of |g^S_RL + 2 g^T_RL| <= 0.78 on the interference term between scalar and tensor coupling constants.
