Rare muon decays and physics beyond the standard model

Conference paper

Abstract

Rare muon processes such as muonium to antimuonium conversion, μ → eγ and μ → 3e provide sensitive tests of new physics beyond the standard model. Specifically the left-right symmetric models of weak interaction with a low scale for the right-handed W R boson (in the TeV range) provide a whole range of rare muon processes which are experimentally accessible. In this talk, I discuss the implications of the left-right symmetric models for rare muon processes and also briefly touch on the SUSY models with R-parity violation and their implications for these processes.
