Search for lepton-flavor-violating rare muon processes
- Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute for Nuclear Research (Russian Federation)
A new approach to seeking three lepton-flavor-violating rare muon processes ({mu} {sup {yields}}e conversion, {mu} {sup {yields}}e + {gamma}, and {mu} {sup {yields}}3e) on the basis of a single experimental facility is proposed. This approach makes it possible to improve the sensitivity level of relevant experiments by factors of 10{sup 5}, 600, and 300 for, respectively, the first, the second, and the third of the above processes in relation to the existing experimental level. The approach is based on employing a pulsed proton beam and on combining a muon source and the detector part of the facility into a unified magnetic system featuring a nonuniform field. A new detector design involving separate units andmaking it possible to study all three muonic processes at a single facility that admits a simple rearrangement of the detectors used is discussed.
