Description
Abstract:	An innovative and state of the art pair spectrometer system to measure the photon component of μ+ decay to obtain an improved branching ratio limit for the decay μ [arrow] e[gamma] is investigated. Analysis algorithms are developed and an experimental inner bremsstrahlung spectrum is obtained and agrees well with Monte Carlo simulations. Background sources are investigated and found to be highly suppressed at various stages of acquisition and analysis.
