  1. Muon Physics at the front end of a n-Factory • At a n -factory beams of 1013 - 1014m/s could be developed. • Two types of experiments are especially suited to such fluxes: • Search for a permanent electric dipole moment dm • Search for lepton flavor violation in muon decay • Such experiments would continue the long history that muon physics has with the development of the Standard Model, and searches for physics beyond it. K. Long – U.C. Irvine

  2. SM information/constraints from the muon: • The strength of the weak interaction • i.e. the Fermi constant Gm from tm • The fundamental nature of the weak interaction: V-A • Lepton flavor conservation in m-decay: m→ e g, m+ → e+ e+ e-, m- N → e- N, are not yet seen • VEV of the Higgs field: • Induced form-factors in nuclear m-capture • Limits on non-standard model physics from the muon anomalous magentic moment am K. Long – U.C. Irvine

  5. aμ, dm LFV are sensitive to a wide range of new physics including SUSY. e.g. am is sensitive to: • substructure • SUSY (with large tanβ ) • many other things (extra dimensions, etc.) K. Long – U.C. Irvine

  10. ~ < Experiments that can use the highest muon intensity: • muon-electron conversion: to ~ 10-20 • Present Limit for m- Ti: BR < 6 X 10-13 • PRISM/PRIME proposal • 10-18 – 10-19 single event sensitivity • n-Fact front-end, 10-20 • muon EDM search • ~10-25e cm needs NP2 of ~1018 • present limit dm 10-19e cm K. Long – U.C. Irvine

  11. Muon Summary and Outlook • The muon has provided us with much knowledge on how nature works. New experiments on the horizion continue this tradition. • Muon (g-2), with a precision of 0.5 ppm, has a 3.3 s discrepancy with the standard model. • If this discrepancy is from new physics, it would show up in an EDM and perhaps in LFV as well. • MEG is set to turn on and collect data in the next year. • m-→ e- conversion holds the best experimental prospect for going much further on LFV. • There is an exciting program of muon physics that can be done at a n-factory!
