Muon number nonconservation in a simple gauge model. [Branching ratios]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7306433
Assuming that a charged heavy lepton tau exists at a mass of about 1.8 GeV, a simple gauge model of muon number nonconservation via a single neutral scalar boson is proposed. The branching ratios for ..mu.. ..-->.. e..gamma.., ..mu.. ..-->.. 3e, and K/sub L/ ..-->.. e..mu.. are estimated to be about 2.5 x 10/sup -9/, 10/sup -10/, and 10/sup -12/ respectively. A unique prediction of this model is that sigma(..mu..N..-->.. tau N) should be unusually large, of the order 10/sup -6/ times sigma(..mu..N..-->.. ..nu..N').
