POSITRON SPECTRUM FROM MUON DECAY.
Abstract
The positron spectrum from the decay of positive muons was studied using a sonic spark chamber spectrometer. An analysis of 1.1 million events gave a value for the Michel parameter of 0.750 = 0.003. This number includes internal radiative corrections and is to be compared directly with the 0.750 predicted by the V-A theory. An upper limit on the mass of the muon neutrino was set at 1.5 MeV.
