SCATTERING OF 8-Gev $mu$ MESONS ON ELECTRONS

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
The scattering of polarized 8-Bev mu /sup -/ mesons on electrons in magnetized iron was measured. The spin dependence of the cross section gives the helicity for mu /sup -/ mesons from pi /sup -/ decay. The cross section for producing knock-on electrons up to 3.4 Bev is compared with the value calculated in first order, corrected for the emission of hard photons. Measurement and calculation of the cross section agree within the experimental error, which is plus or minus 7%. (auth)
