The TWIST Collaboration has measured the Michel parameter $\rho$ in normal muon decay, $\mu^+ \to e^+ \nu_e \bar{\nu}_{\mu}$. In the Standard Model, $\rho$ = 3/4. Deviations from this value require mixing of left- and right-handed muon and…
The TWIST collaboration has performed new measurements of two of the parameters that describe muon decay: $\rho$, which governs the shape of the overall momentum spectrum, and $\delta$, which governs the momentum dependence of the…
Any theory that have a global spontaneously broken symmetry will imply the existence of very light neutral bosons or massless bosons (sometimes called Majorons). For most of these models we have neutrino-Majoron couplings, that appear as…
The TWIST Collaboration has completed its measurement of the three muon decay parameters \rho, \delta, and P_\mu\xi. This paper describes our determination of \rho, which governs the shape of the overall momentum spectrum, and \delta, which…
Limits on the tensor couplings generating a Fierz interference term, b, in mixed Gamow-Teller Fermi decays can be derived by combining data from measurements of angular correlation parameters in neutron decay, the neutron lifetime, and…
The Fermi constant ($G_F$) is extremely well measured through the muon lifetime, defining one of the key fundamental parameters in the Standard Model (SM). Therefore, to search for physics beyond the SM (BSM) via $G_F$, the constraining…
The spectrum of electrons from muons decaying in an atomic bound state is significantly modified by their interaction with the nucleus. Somewhat unexpectedly, its first measurement, at the Canadian laboratory TRIUMF, differed from basic…
The TWIST Collaboration has completed a new measurement of the energy-angle spectrum of positrons from the decay of highly polarized muons. A simultaneous measurement of the muon decay parameters {\rho}, {\delta}, and (P_{\mu}){\xi} tests…
In this paper a scenario admitting the participation of right-handed vector V and axial A couplings with the conservation of the left-handed standard (V, A) couplings is considered. The research is based on the muon capture by proton. We…
The MEG collaboration searches for the mu to e gamma decay at the muon beam line PiE5 of the Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland. The world best upper limit has been set to be BR(mu to e gamma) < 5.7 10^-13 at 90% C.L. analyzing a data…
The muon decay parameter delta characterizes momentum dependence of the parity-violating muon decay asymmetry. A new measurement of delta has been performed using the first physics data recorded by the TWIST experiment at TRIUMF. The…
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…
O(alpha^2 ln^2(m_mu/m_e)) QED corrections to the electron spectrum and angular distribution in muon decay are evaluated. Impact on the determination of Michel parameters is estimated. Current theoretical uncertainty in the muon decay…
We examine the decay of $Z_1$ in electrons with recent data from LEP. The partial width $\Gamma(Z_1\to e^-e^+)$ is studied in the framework of a left-right symmetric model with standard electroweak corrections. Processes measured near the…
Beta-decay and muon-capture experiments in nuclei are reviewed. The conserved vector current hypothesis is confirmed through the observed constancy of the vector coupling constant determined from the superallowed Fermi transitions and from…
In the standard model of electroweak interactions the positrons from the decay of polarized positive muons are mainly longitudinally polarized. The measurement of the two transverse polarization components PT1 and PT2 is a sensitive tool to…
We examine constraints on a model with pure right-handed third generation charged couplings. The parameters of the right-handed mixing matrix and the right-handed coupling strength are constrained from semi-leptonic B decays, the mass…
Heavy right-handed neutrinos are of current interest. The interactions and decay of such neutrinos determine their decoupling epoch during the evolution of the universe. This in turn affects various observable features like the energy…
This paper describes a measurement of the Michel parameters, \eta, \rho, \xi, \xi\delta, and the average \nu_{\tau} helicity, h_{\nu_{\tau}}, in tau lepton decays together with the first measurement of the tensor coupling in the weak…
The muon-to-electron conversion in nuclei like aluminum, titanium and gold is studied in the context of a class of mirror fermion model with non-sterile right-handed neutrinos having mass at the electroweak scale. At the limit of zero…
