Eng. Phys.) ; Comfort, J (Arizona State U.) ; Doria, L (TRIUMF ; Mainz U., Inst. Kernphys. ; U. Mainz, PRISMA) et al.
In the present work of the PIENU experiment, heavy neutrinos were sought in pion decays \(\pi ^{ + } \to \mu ^{ + }\nu \). No evidence for extra peak was found in the muon kinetic energy spectrum and 90% confidence level upper limits were set on the neutrino mixing matrix \(|U_{\mu i}|^{2}\) in the mass range of 15.7 to 33.8 MeV/c^2, improving an order of magnitude over previous experiments.

Improved search for two body muon decay ${\mu}^+{\rightarrow}e^+X_H$
/ PIENU Collaboration
Charged lepton flavor violating muon decay ${\mu}^+{\rightarrow}e^+X_H$, where $X_H$ is a massive neutral boson, was sought by searching for extra peaks in the muon decay ${\mu}^+{\rightarrow}e^+{\nu}\bar{\nu}$ energy spectrum in the $m_{X_H}$ mass region $47.8-95.1$ MeV/$c^2$. No signal was found and 90% confidence level upper limits were set on the branching ratio ${\Gamma}({\mu}^+{\rightarrow}e^+X_H)/{\Gamma}({\mu}^+{\rightarrow}e^+{\nu}\bar{\nu})$ at the level of $10^{-5}$ for this region..

Initial results from the PIENU experiment

British Columbia (main)) ; vom Bruch, D (Mainz U.) ; Chen, S (Tsinghua U., Beijing) ; Comfort, J (Arizona State U., Tempe) ; Cuen-Rochin, S (U. British Columbia (main)) et al.
The pion branching ratio, $R_{\pi} = \frac{\Gamma ( \pi^+ \to e^+ \nu_e + \pi^+ \to e^+ \nu_e \gamma)}{\Gamma (\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu} + \pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu} \gamma)}$ , provides a sensitive test of lepton universality and constraints on many new physics scenarios. The theoretical uncertainty on the Standard Model prediction of $R_{\pi}$ is 0.02%, a factor of twenty smaller than the experimental uncertainty. [...]

The pion branching ratio, $R_{\pi } = \frac { {\Gamma }(\pi ^{+} \rightarrow e^{+} \nu _{e} + \pi ^{+}\rightarrow e^{+} \nu _{e} \gamma )}{\Gamma (\pi ^{+} \rightarrow \mu ^{+} \nu _{\mu } + \pi ^{+} \rightarrow \mu ^{+} \nu _{\mu } \gamma )}$ , provides a sensitive test of lepton universality and constraints on many new physics scenarios. The theoretical uncertainty on the Standard Model prediction of R$_{π}$ is 0.02 %, a factor of twenty smaller than the experimental uncertainty. [...]

Search for massive neutrinos in ${\pi }^{+}{\rightarrow }e^{+}{\nu }_{e}$ decay

The PIENU experiment aims to measure the branching ratio of the charged pion decay with precision of < 0.1 %. This measurement is much sensitive to search for massive neutrinos coupled to electrons in ${\pi }^{+}{\rightarrow }e^{+}{\nu }_{e}$ decay. [...]

A new search for the $K_{L} \to \pi^0 \nu \overline{\nu}$ and $K_{L} \to \pi^{0} X^{0}$ decays

We searched for the $CP$-violating rare decay of neutral kaon, $K_{L} \to \pi^0 \nu \overline{\nu}$, in data from the first 100 hours of physics running in 2013 of the J-PARC KOTO experiment. One candidate event was observed while $0.34\pm0.16$ background events were expected. [...]

The PIENU experiment at TRIUMF aims to measure the branching ratio of pion decays R = Γ(π(+) → e(+)ν(e) + π(+) → e(+) ν(e)γ)/Γ(π(+)→μ(+)ν(μ) + π(+) → μ(+)ν(μ)γ) with precision <0.1%, providing a stringent test of the Standard Model hypothesis of electron-muon universality and a search for new physics..
