Precision experiments with pions and muons

Oral

I will discuss the role of hadronic physics in precision experiments with the help of a few examples.

71. In Search of Mu->eGamma – The MEG Experiment Status & Latest Results

Peter-Raymond Kettle (Paul Scherrer Institute PSI)

Searches for symmetry violations

Oral

The search for “New Physics” is not restricted to the high-energy frontier of TeV-scale accelerators. The MEG experiment at PSI, is a lepton-flavour violating decay search, aiming at O(10-13) sensitivity for the decay mu  e + gamma. Using one of the most intense surface muon beams, together with the world’s largest liquid xenon photon detector of 900 litres and a gradient-field...

21. Results and opportunities in pion and muon decay

Dinko Pocanic (University)

Precision experiments with pions and muons

Oral

This talk will review the motivation, present experimental status, and remaining opportunities in the precise determination of the parameters of rare pion and muon decays. A great deal of effort, much of it at PSI, has been devoted in recent years to such measurements, leading to considerable improvements in precision, and in theoretical bounds. All of the measurements discussed explore...
