摘要:

通过在TWIST合作分析的5.8 $\times 10^8$正μ子衰变事件中搜索$μ^+\to e^+X^0$衰变来检验轻子族数违反。对无质量和有质量的$X^0$玻色子的产生都有限制。这个实验的大角度接受允许限制各向异性的$μ^+\to e^+X^0$衰变,这可能是由违反轻子味和宇称守恒的相互作用引起的。对于质量为13 - 80 MeV/c $^2$的玻色子和不同的衰变不对称性,得到了$10^{-5}$级的分支比极限.对于质量小于13 MeV/c $^{2}$的玻色子,不对称性依赖性要强得多,分支比的90%极限变化到$5.8 \times 10^{-5}$。这是第一个明确评估各向异性两体μ子衰变极限的研究。

英文摘要:

Lepton family number violation is tested by searching for $μ^+\to e^+X^0$ decays among the 5.8$\times 10^8$ positive muon decay events analyzed by the TWIST collaboration. Limits are set on the production of both massless and massive $X^0$ bosons. The large angular acceptance of this experiment allows limits to be placed on anisotropic $μ^+\to e^+X^0$ decays, which can arise from interactions violating both lepton flavor and parity conservation. Branching ratio limits of order $10^{-5}$ are obtained for bosons with masses of 13 - 80 MeV/c$^2$ and with different decay asymmetries. For bosons with masses less than 13 MeV/c$^{2}$ the asymmetry dependence is much stronger and the 90% limit on the branching ratio varies up to $5.8 \times 10^{-5}$. This is the first study that explicitly evaluates the limits for anisotropic two body muon decays.
