NOTES

[a] This is the best limit for the mode e . The best limit for electron
disappearance is 6.4 1024 yr.
[b] See the Note on Muon Decay Parameters in the Particle Listings for
definitions and details.
[c] P is the longitudinal polarization of the muon from pion decay. In
standard V A theory, P = 1 and = = 3/4.
[d] This only includes events with the energy > 10 MeV. Since the e e
and e e modes cannot be clearly separated, we regard the latter
mode as a subset of the former.
[e] See the relevant Particle Listings for the energy limits used in this mea-
surement.
[f ] A test of additive vs. multiplicative lepton family number conservation.
[g ] Basis mode for the .
[h] L mass limit depends on decay assumptions; see the Full Listings.
[i ] The sign of m232 is not known at this time. The range quoted is for
the absolute value.
