A search for the decay mu min gave no sig e + gamma is made using spark chambers and sodium iodide crystals. The spark chambers provide the means of measuring the angle between the electron and photon, while the sodium iodide crystals are used to measure the particle energies. A lithium target and thin (0.001 in.) aluminum foils in the spark chamber are used to minimize the scattering of the electron. An upper limit of 4.3, 10/sup -8/ (90% confidence) is found for the ratio of the rate of the mu min gave no sig e + gamma decay to the normal muon decay rate. A search for the decay mu min gave no sig e + gamma + gamma is also made. (auth)
