Probing the Weak Interaction Spacetime Structure

with Muon Decay






Abstract



Muon decay is an excellent place to study the structure of the weak interaction. Since it is a purely leptonic process, many uncertainties deriving from the internal strucure of the particles involved or from other interactions are eliminated. TWIST measures
with high precision the momentum and angular dependence of positrons emitted from the decay of polarized positive muons. I will describe the apparatus and some of the analysis techniques that we have employed. New results for the muon decay parameters rho and delta will be presented, together with their implications regarding the spacetime
symmetries of the weak interaction.
