Lepton charge and model of weak interactions with μ-e transitions

Abstract

The gauge model of weak interactions is proposed and μ ±↔e ∓ transitions predicted by the model are discussed. Estimates are given for μ ±→e ∓ transitions on hadrons like K +→ π − μ +e + with Γ (K +→ π − μ +e +) ≅ 10 −11 Γ(K + and μ − capture on nuclei with W( μ −→e +) ≅ 10 −12 W( μ − → ν). Single μ ± production in e ∓ beams with a cross section δ ∼ 10 −42 −10 −41 cm 2 is predicted.
