Search for three body pion decays ${pi}^+{to}l^+{ u}X$


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The three body pion decays ${pi}^+{rightarrow}l^+{ u}X~(l=e,{mu})$, where $X$ is a weakly interacting neutral boson, were searched for using the full data set from the PIENU experiment. An improved limit on ${Gamma}({pi}^+{to}e^+{ u}X)/{Gamma}({pi}^+{to}{mu}^+{ u}_{mu})$ in the mass range $0<m_X<120$ MeV/$c^2$ and a first result for ${Gamma}({pi}^+{to}{mu}^+{ u}X)/{Gamma}({pi}^+{to}{mu}^+{ u}_{mu})$ in the region $0<m_X<33.9$ MeV/$c^2$ were obtained. The Majoron-neutrino coupling model was also constrained using the current experimental result of the ${pi}^+{to}e^+{ u}_e({gamma})$ branching ratio.
