Mass Limit on a Positively Charged Heavy Muon
Chicago
Abstract
We report a preliminary search for a positively charged lepton (Y+) coupled directly to the μ- and νμ (i.e., muon number = + 1). Using the production process νμ+N→Y++anything, we have looked for the μ+ from the decay Y+→μ++νμ+νμ. The expected number of μ+ events is given as a function of the heavy-lepton mass, the branching fraction to muons, and the heavy-lepton coupling. For typical gauge-theory predictions, we obtain the 90% confidence limit MY>2 GeV/c^2.
