Abstract

We study muon pair production e+eμ+μ e^+ e^- \to \mu^+ \mu^- in the noncommutative(NC) extension of the standard model using the Seiberg-Witten maps of this to the second order of the noncommutative parameter Θμν\Theta_{\mu \nu}. Using O(Θ2)\mathcal{O}(\Theta^2) Feynman rules, we find the O(Θ4)\mathcal{O}(\Theta^4) cross section(with all other lower order contributions simply cancelled) for the pair production. The momentum dependent O(Θ2)\mathcal{O}(\Theta^2) NC interaction significantly modifies the cross section and angular distributions which are different from the commuting standard model. We study the collider signatures of the space-time noncommutativity at the International Linear Collider(ILC) and find that the process e+eμ+μ e^+ e^- \to \mu^+ \mu^- can probe the NC scale Λ\Lambda in the range 0.81.00.8 - 1.0 TeV for typical ILC energy ranges.
