Coherent Muon-Electron conversion in the Dualized Standard Model

TL;DR

This paper analyzes muon-electron conversion in nuclei within the Dualized Standard Model, deriving conversion ratios that are close to current experimental limits, suggesting potential for near-future detection.

Contribution

It provides a parameter-free calculation of muon-electron conversion rates in nuclei and muonium, using previously determined parameters within the Dualized Standard Model.

Findings

Conversion rates are within current experimental bounds.

Some predicted rates are close to experimental detection thresholds.

Muon-electron conversion in muonium is negligible compared to experimental limits.

Abstract

Muon-electron conversion in nuclei is considered in the framework of the Dualized Standard Model. The ratio $B_{\mu-e}$ of the conversion rate to the total muon capture rate is derived, and computed for several nuclei in a parameter-free calculation using parameters previously determined in different physical contexts. The values obtained all lie within the present experimental bounds, but some are so close as to seem readily accessible to experiments already being planned. Similar considerations are applied also to muon-electron conversion in muonium but give rates many orders of magnitude below the present experiment limit.
