Abstract

Higher-order QED radiative corrections to muon decay spectrum are evaluated within the QED structure function approach in the next-to-leading order logarithmic approximation. New analytical results are given in the O(α3ln2(mμ2/me2))\mathcal{O}\left(\alpha^3 \ln^2(m_\mu^2/m_e^2)\right) order. Earlier results in O(α2ln1(mμ2/me2))\mathcal{O}\left(\alpha^2 \ln^1(m_\mu^2/m_e^2)\right) and O(α3ln3(mμ2/me2))\mathcal{O}\left(\alpha^3 \ln^3(m_\mu^2/m_e^2)\right) orders are partially corrected. Numerical estimates of different contributions are presented.
