We have collected a large statistical sample of (1) π+ → e+νe, (2) π + → π0e+νe, (3) π+ → e+νeγ, (4) μ + → e+νeν?μ, and (5) μ + → e+νeν?μγ decays. We have evaluated the absolute branching ratios for these processes by normalizing to the independently measured number of decaying π+’s (or μ+’s). We discuss the mutual consistency of the preliminary results. PACS numbers: 12.15.Hh, 13.20.Cz, 14.35.Bv, 14.40.Aq, 14.60.Ef Keywords: determination of CKM matrix elements, decays of pions and muons, properties of pions and muons The PIBETA Collaboration [1] at PSI has performed a series of high precision measurements of rare pion and muon decays. We have used the PIBETA detector [2], a non-magnetic, segmented, pure CsI spherical calorimeter supplemented with a pair of cylindrical multi-wire proportional chambers for the charged particle tracking and a plastic veto hodoscope for the particle identification (Fig 1). FIG. 1: The schematic drawing of the PIBETA detector. The left panel shows the geometry of the 240-module pure CsI shower calorimeter. The technical drawing of the assembled calorimeter is shown in the right. The primary goal of the experiment has been to determine the pion beta decay (π+ → π0e+νe) branching ratio with ~ 0.5% uncertainty, improving the precision of previous measurements by almost an order of magnitude [3]. Pion beta decay provides the theoretically most unambiguous means to study weak u-d quark mixing which directly tests quark-lepton universality and can thus constrain certain aspects of physics beyond the present Standard Model.
