The TWIST Collaboration has performed new measurements of two of the parameters that describe muon decay: p, which governs the shape of the overall momentum spectrum, and δ, which governs the momentum dependence of the parity-violating decay asymmetry. This analysis gives the results p = 0.75014 ± 0.000 17(stat) ±0.00044 (syst) ± 0.00011(η), where the last uncertainty arises from the correlation between p and the decay parameter η, and δ = 0.75067 ± 0.00030(stat) ± 0.00067(syst). These are… CONTINUE READING
