PmuXi papers from Russian journals
- Soviet Physics JETP,
34(7), 176 (1958), Alikhanian et al.
Bubble chamber experiment where pions were stopped in propane,
and decayed pi+ -> mu+ -> e+. They find 0.99 +- 0.18.
Note their lambda = our PmuXi.
BONUS: the very next article in the journal is a low statistics
mu- measurement in an emulsion.
- Soviet Physics JETP, 34(7),
573 (1958), Barmin et al.
Bubble chamber experiment with propane again.
They find xi > 0.77 +- 0.10.
- Soviet Physics JETP, 36(9),
940 (1959), Ali-Zade et al.
Muons were stopped in nuclear emulsion
in a constant 2.7 T field.
They found pmuxi = 0.97 +- 0.06.
- Soviet Journal of Nuclear
Physics, 6 (1968) 230, Akhmanov et al.
Muons were stopped in nuclear emulsion
in a pulsed 14 T (!) field. They also ran
at 2.7 T to show consistency with the Ali-Zade
result, which demonstrated that
a pulsed field didn't introduce an additional
depolarising effect.
They found pmuxi = 0.975 +- 0.015,
which is 1.7 sigma away from pmuxi=1.
Prior to Beltrami, this was the most precise
pmuxi measurement.
