Muon decay in a linearly polarized laser field
Arsham Farzinnia, Duane A. Dicus, Wayne W. Repko +1
In a previous paper, we showed that the decay rate of a muon is only slightly affected by the presence of a circularly polarized laser and we gave an analytic expression for the co…

Muon decay in a laser field
Duane A. Dicus, Arsham Farzinnia, Wayne W. Repko +1
We investigate the change in the decay rate of a muon caused by embedding it in the field of a laser. A previous paper found that the change could be large, as much as an order of…
