Abstract

The status of experimental tests of electron-muon universality in weak interactions is reviewed. The average of the new measurements of the π+→e+ν branching ratio, R ave =Γ(π→eν+π→eνγ)/Γ(π→μν+π→μνγ)=(1.2312±0.0037)×10−4, is consistent with standard model calculations R th =(1.234±0.001)×10−4 and confirms the hypothesis of electron-muon universality at the 0.2% level.
