Radiative decay of the muon via W-boson

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The electron energy spectrum at a fixed angle with the photon in radiative muon decay has been calculated. In addition we derive the photons’ energy spectrum and the transition probability of the photon having an energy greater than some fixed value.

Riassunto

Si è calcolato lo spettro d’energia dell’elettrone ad un angolo fisso rispetto al fotone nel decadimento muonico radiativo. Inoltre si deduce lo spettro d’energia del fotone e la probabilità di transizione di un muone avente energia maggiore di un certo valore fisso.
