摘要:

TWIST合作对描述μ子衰变的两个参数进行了新的测量:$ρ$,它控制着整个动量谱的形状,以及$δ$,它控制着宇称违反衰变不对称性的动量依赖性。该分析给出了结果$ρ=0.75014\pm 0.00017(\text{stat})\pm 0.00044(\text{syst})\pm 0.00011(η)$,其中最后的不确定性来自$ρ$与衰变参数$η$和$δ= 0.75067\pm 0.00030(\text{stat})\pm 0.00067(\text{syst})$之间的相关性。这与粒子物理学标准模型中两个参数的3/4值一致,并且比TWIST先前公布的测量结果精确两倍。一个新的全球分析所有可用的μ子衰变数据,将这些结果。改进的下限和上限的衰减参数$P_μ^πξ$的$0.99524 < P_μ^πξ\leq ξ< 1.00091$在90%的置信度确定,其中$P_μ^π$是极化的μ子时,它是在π衰变过程中创建的,和$ξ$管理μ子衰变的不对称性。这些结果设置新的模型无关的约束可能的弱相互作用的右手粒子。左右对称模型的具体影响进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

The TWIST collaboration has performed new measurements of two of the parameters that describe muon decay: $ρ$, which governs the shape of the overall momentum spectrum, and $δ$, which governs the momentum dependence of the parity-violating decay asymmetry. This analysis gives the results $ρ=0.75014\pm 0.00017(\text{stat})\pm 0.00044(\text{syst})\pm 0.00011(η)$, where the last uncertainty arises from the correlation between $ρ$ and the decay parameter $η$, and $δ= 0.75067\pm 0.00030(\text{stat})\pm 0.00067(\text{syst})$. These are consistent with the value of 3/4 given for both parameters in the Standard Model of particle physics, and are a factor of two more precise than the measurements previously published by TWIST. A new global analysis of all available muon decay data incorporating these results is presented. Improved lower and upper limits on the decay parameter $P_μ^πξ$ of $0.99524 < P_μ^πξ\leq ξ< 1.00091$ at 90% confidence are determined, where $P_μ^π$ is the polarization of the muon when it is created during pion decay, and $ξ$ governs the muon decay asymmetry. These results set new model-independent constraints on the possible weak interactions of right-handed particles. Specific implications for left-right symmetric models are discussed.
