}We present an improved theoretical prediction of the positron energy spectrum for the polarised Michel decay µ + → e + ν e ¯ ν µ . In addition to the full next-to-next-to-leading order correction of order α 2 in the electromagnetic coupling, we include logarithmically enhanced terms at even higher orders. Logarithms due to collinear emission are included at next-to-leading accuracy up to order α 4 . At the endpoint of the Michel spectrum, soft photon emission results in large logarithms that…
