11 Momentum calibration James Bueno, WNPPC 2010, Banff, Alberta Difference between these choices gives uncertainties of 1.0 x 10 -4 for ρ, and 1.1 x 10 -4 for δ. 8 Extremes are application as a shift and scale Shift Scale

20 Magnetic field components James Bueno, WNPPC 2010, Banff, Alberta Indirect validation: polarisation of real beam lowered. How well does the simulation reproduce the changes? Example: angle θ y ~ 28 mrad introduced Polarisation decrease of (105 ± 9) x 10 -4 Comparison I y vs. z Comparison II: position off axis by ~1 cm, angle θx ~ 10 mrad introduced. Comparison III: TECs-in through entire set, increasing multiple scattering upstream of fringe field. 15 Small transverse field components need increasing by 10% to improve data and simulation agreement.

33 James Bueno, WNPPC 2010, Banff, Alberta Before unblinding Collaboration agreed on:  Data sets to include.  Systematic uncertainties and corrections.  Level of required consistency with previous results.  Do we combine new results with intermediate TWIST measurements? (new results supersede)  Course of action if results are inconsistent with the Standard Model. (we publish!) 21

34 James Bueno, WNPPC 2010, Banff, Alberta Results revealed (29 Jan 2010) ρ = 0.74991 ± 0.00009 (stat) ± 0.00028 (syst) δ = 0.75072 ± 0.00016 (stat) ± 0.00029 (syst) 22

35 James Bueno, WNPPC 2010, Banff, Alberta Results revealed (29 Jan 2010) P μ ξ = 1.00084 ± 0.00035 (stat) + 0.00165 (syst) − 0.00063 (syst) P μ ξ δ / ρ =1.00192 + 0.00167 − 0.00066 Pre-TWIST: 0.9975 ≤ P μ δ/ρ (90% C.L.) 2.9 σ from SM, under investigation 23

36 James Bueno, WNPPC 2010, Banff, Alberta Left-right symmetric models  Models add a right-handed current (V+A) to the weak interaction.  Right-handed W-boson introduced at higher energies.  Mass of W R > Mass of W L. Weak interaction eigenstates (W L, W R ) in terms of mass eigenstates (W 1,W 2 ) and mixing angle (ζ): Phys. Rev. D 34, 3449 - 3456 (1986) 24 W L = W 1 cos ζ + W 2 sin ζ W R = e iω ( −W 1 sin ζ + W 2 cos ζ) Muon polarisation and decay parameters ξ and ρ are sensitive to m 2 (the new boson’s mass) and ζ (the mixing angle).

38 James Bueno, WNPPC 2010, Banff, Alberta Global analysis of muon decay data General 4-fermion interaction: Standard Model (“V-A”): (all others zero) Global analysis determines weak coupling constants using:  TWIST results: ρ, δ, Pμξ  Polarisation of e + (longitudinal and transverse)  Radiative muon decay Method described in Phys. Rev. D, 72:073002 (2005) 26

39 Global analysis of muon decay data James Bueno, WNPPC 2010, Banff, Alberta 27  New limit on right-handed muon couplings: Pre-TWIST:Q μ R < 5.1 x 10 −3 (90% C.L.) New result:Q μ R < 5.8 x 10 −4 (90% C.L.)  Uncertainty for η reduced: 2005 global analysis:η = − 0.0036 ± 0.0069 New result:η = − 0.0033 ± 0.0046  Improved uncertainties for other coupling constants: CouplingPre-TWISTNew | g S RR | < 0.066< 0.031 | g V RR | < 0.033< 0.015 | g S LR | < 0.125< 0.041 | g V LR | < 0.060< 0.018 | g T LR | < 0.036< 0.012 Preliminary

40 Summary James Bueno, WNPPC 2010, Banff, Alberta 28  Systematic uncertainties in muon decay parameter measurements were substantially reduced in TWIST.  Total uncertainties were reduced by factors of 8.7, 11.6, and 7.0 for ρ, δ and P μ ξ respectively, roughly achieving the goals of the experiment.  Differences with Standard Model predictions are respectively −0.3 σ, +2.2 σ, and +1.2 σ.  We cannot yet explain the more significant deviation of P μ ξ δ/ρ above the limit of 1.0.
