Muon and electron number nonconservation in a V-A gauge model

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
; ; ;
We analyze muon and electron lepton-number nonconservation in a pure V-A gauge model. The rates for ..mu.. ..-->.. e..gamma.., ..mu.. ..-->.. eee-bar, and K/sub L/ ..-->.. ..mu..e-bar are computed for this model. We find that for a reasonable range of neutral heavy-lepton mass these rates are in accord with, but not extremely small compared to, present experimental bounds. We comment on the nonorthogonality of ..nu../sub e/ and ..nu../sub ..mu../, and interesting features of the L/sup -/ decays.
