Muon-decay parameters from COHERENT
Víctor Bresó-Pla, Sergio Cruz-Alzaga, Martín González-Alonso, Suraj Prakash
We demonstrate that measurements of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEνNS) at spallation sources are valuable probes of muon-decay physics. Using COHERENT data we derive the first direct constraint on the Michel parameters governing the ν¯μ energy distribution. We also discuss future sensitivities and assess the implications for the Lorentz structure of the interactions mediating muon decay.
