UPPER LIMIT FOR THE DECAY MODE $mu$ $Yields$ e + $gamma$

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters
The search for the ic 1100 deg C are e + decay mode was made by observing coincidences between a gamma detector and an electron detector placed on either side of a source of decaying positive muons. These were obtained by stopping the 60-Mev The effects of /sup +/ beam of the Nevis cyclotron in a lithium target. Theres the The effects of /sup +/ mesons decayed into muons whose range was too short for them to escape from the target. A branching ratio of less than 2 x 10/sup -6/ was found with a confidence level of 90%. (W.D.M.)
