Download or read book Rare Muon Decays and Lepton-family Number Conservation written by and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brief historical survey of the discovery of the muon, interest in neutrinoless processes, and lepton-number conservation laws is given. The present view of lepton-number conservation laws and the search for .mu. .-->. e.gamma. are described. Other experiments are discussed including .mu. .-->. ee+e− decay, .mu.−Z .-->. e−Z reactions, .mu. .-->. e .gamma gamma. decay, other rare muon processes, strangeness-changing muon-number-nonconserving decays, and tau decays. 52 references.
