With $\mu\to e\gamma$ decay forbidden by multiplicative lepton number conservation, we study muonium--antimuonium transitions induced by neutral scalar bosons. Pseudoscalars do not induce conversion for triplet muonium, while for singlet…
In the work presented, the decay of the pionium, that is the \pi^+ \pi^- bound state, into two \pi^0 is studied, the \pi\pi-interaction causing this transition being described by the underlying Weinberg lagrangian. The calculation with such…
The T violating transverse muon polarizations in $K^+\to \pi^0\mu^+\nu$ and $K^+\to \mu^+\nu\gamma$ decays due to tensor interactions are studied. The magnitudes of these polarizations over the allowed phase space are presented.
We report on a search for a resonance $X$ decaying to a pair of muons in $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- X$ events in the 0.212-9.000 GeV/$c^{2}$ mass range, using 178 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the BelleII experiment at the…
Theoretical backgound for bileptonic gauge bosons is reviewed, both the SU(15) GUT model and the 3-3-1 model. Then the mass limits for bileptons are discussed coming from $e^+e^-$ scattering, polarized muon decay and muonium-antimuonium…
We report on recent developments in the phenomenology of exclusive b -> s mu^+ mu^- decays in testing the standard model and explore its borders: the benefits of the region of large dimuon invariant masses and the exploitation of the…
The mean life of the positive muon has been measured to a precision of 11 ppm using a low-energy, pulsed muon beam stopped in a ferromagnetic target, which was surrounded by a scintillator detector array. The result, tau_mu = 2.197013(24)…
The upper bounds from the ATLAS and CMS experiments on the decay rate of the Higgs boson to two muons provide the strongest constraint on an imaginary part of the muon Yukawa coupling. This bound is more than an order of magnitude stronger…
Recoil corrections to the atomic decay rate are considered in the order of Zm/M . The expressions are treated exactly without any expansion over Z alpha. The expressions obtained are valid both for muonic atoms (for which they contribute on…
Upcoming fixed-target experiments designed to search for new sub-GeV forces will also have sensitivity to the never before observed True Muonium atom, a bound state of a muon and anti-muon. We describe the production and decay…
Observation of the decay of muons produced in the Earth's atmosphere by cosmic ray interactions provides a graphic illustration of the counter-intuitive space-time predictions of special relativity theory. Muons at rest in the atmosphere,…
We have recently seen new upper bounds for $B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$, a key decay to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Furthermore a non-vanishing decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ of the $B_s$ system has been measured. We…
The impact of unstable Majorana tau neutrinos on primordial nucleosynthesis is considered. The mass and lifetime of nu_tau are taken in the intervals 0.1-20 MeV and 0.001-400 sec respectively. The studied decay modes are nu_tau -> nu_mu +…
The FAC, PMS, and BLM optimization methods are applied to the QED corrections to the muon lifetime in the Fermi V-A theory. The FAC and PMS scales are close to m_e, while the BLM scale nearly concides with the geometric average \sqrt{m_e…
We discuss the advantages of combining the experimental bound on Br(B_s -> mu+ mu-) and the measured Br(B -> K l+l-) to get the model independent constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model. Since the two decays give complementary…
The most general form of the hamiltonian for the muon decay is presented. We assume that it arises as a result of the exchange of intermediate bosons with a momentum $q$ and naturally should depend on this momentum. That allows us to…
Motivated by new precise results on several $K_L$ decays, sensitive to the ${K_L \to \gamma \gamma}$ form factor, we present a new analysis of the $K_L\to \mu^+\mu^-$ long-distance amplitude based on a semi-phenomenological approach.…
We discuss the decay tau^- -> nu_tau pi^- pi^0 gamma in terms of a model with the correct low-energy structure and with the relevant resonance degress of freedom. The nontrivial radiative dynamics becomes visible for large photon momenta…
We compute the dominant, logarithmically enhanced radiative corrections to the electron spectrum in the bound muon decay in the whole experimentally interesting range. The corrected spectrum fits well the TWIST results. The remaining…
Being a determination at low energies, the analysis of hadronic tau decay data provides a rather precise determination of the strong coupling alpha_s after evolving the result to M_Z. At such a level of precision, even small…
