From the 2002 data taking with a neutral kaon beam extracted from the CERN-SPS, the NA48/1 experiment observed 97 $Xi^{0}rightarrow Sigma^{+} mu^{-} bar{ u}_{mu}$ candidates with a background contamination of $30.8 pm 4.2$ events. From this sample, the BR($Xi^{0}rightarrow Sigma^{+} mu^{-} bar{ u}_{mu}$) is measured to be $(2.17 pm 0.32_{mathrm{stat}}pm 0.17_{mathrm{syst}})times10^{-6}$.
The Xi^0 muon semi-leptonic decay has been observed for the first time with nine identified events using the KTeV beam line and detector at Fermilab. The decay is normalized to the Xi^0 beta decay mode and yields a value for the ratio of decay rates of $(1.8^{+0.7}_{-0.5}(stat.)pm0.2(syst.))times 10^{-2}$. This is in agreement with the SU(3) flavor symmetric quark model.
By analyzing 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at $sqrt s=3.773$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure the absolute branching fraction ${mathcal B}(D^{+}rightarrowbar K^0mu^{+} u_{mu})=(8.72 pm 0.07_{rm stat.} pm 0.18_{rm sys.})%$, which is consistent with previous measurements within uncertainties but with significantly improved precision. Combining the Particle Data Group values of ${mathcal B}(D^0to K^-mu^+ u_mu)$, ${mathcal B}(D^{+}rightarrowbar K^0 e^{+} u_{e})$, and the lifetimes of the $D^0$ and $D^+$ mesons with the value of ${mathcal B}(D^{+}rightarrowbar K^0 mu^{+} u_{mu})$ measured in this work, we determine the following ratios of partial widths: $Gamma(D^0to K^-mu^+ u_mu)/Gamma(D^{+}rightarrowbar K^0mu^{+} u_{mu})=0.963pm0.044$ and $Gamma(D^{+}rightarrowbar K^0 mu^{+} u_{mu})/Gamma(D^{+}rightarrowbar K^0 e^{+} u_{e})=0.988pm0.033$.
A search for the rare leptonic decay $B^{+} rightarrow {mu}^{+}{mu}^{-}{mu}^{+}{ u}_{{mu}}$ is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $4.7$ fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The search is carried out in the region where the lowest of the two ${mu}^{+}{mu}^{-}$ mass combinations is below $980$MeV/c$^{2}$. The data are consistent with the background-only hypothesis and an upper limit of $1.6 times 10^{-8}$ at 95% confidence level is set on the branching fraction in the stated kinematic region.
The absolute branching fraction of $Lambda to p mu^- bar{ u}_{mu}$ is reported for the first time based on an $e^+e^-$ annihilation sample of ten billion $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at $sqrt{s}=3.097$ GeV. The branching fraction is determined to be ${mathcal B}(Lambda to pmu^- bar{ u}_{mu}) = [1.48pm0.21(rm stat) pm 0.08(rm syst)]times 10^{-4}$, which is a significant improvement in precision over the previous indirect measurements. Combining this result with the world average of ${mathcal B}(Lambda to p e^- bar{ u}_{e})$, we obtain the ratio, $frac{Gamma(Lambda to p mu^- bar{ u}_{mu})}{Gamma(Lambda to p e^- bar{ u}_{e})}$, to be $0.178 pm 0.028$, which agrees with the standard model prediction assuming lepton flavor universality. The asymmetry of the branching fractions of $Lambda to p mu^- bar{ u}_{mu}$ and $bar{Lambda} to bar{p} mu^+ u_{mu}$ is also determined, and no evidence for $CP$ violation is found.
The ArgoNeuT collaboration reports the first measurement of neutral current $pi^{0}$ production in $ u_{mu}$-argon and $bar{ u}_{mu}$-argon scattering. This measurement was performed using the ArgoNeuT liquid argon time projection chamber deployed at Fermilabs NuMI neutrino beam with an exposure corresponding to 1.2$times 10^{20}$ protons-on-target from the Fermilab Main Injector and a mean energy for $ u_{mu}$ of 9.6~GeV and for $bar{ u}_{mu}$ of 3.6~GeV. We compare the measured cross section and kinematic distributions to predictions from the GENIE and NuWro neutrino interaction event generators.
