The search provides upper limits for the branching ratios of GAMMA(..mu -->..e..gamma..)/GAMMA(..mu -->..evv-italic-bar) ..e..gamma gamma..)/GAMMA(..mu -->..evv-italic-bar) ..eee)/GAMMA(..mu -->..evv-italic-bar)<3.510/sup -11/ (90% C.L.). In addition, a limit for the emission of a light scalar or pseudoscalar boson in radiative muon decay is given.

TL;DR: The use of such beams provides maximum sensitivity to intra-arterial iodine and virtually eliminates image contrast due to non-vascular body structures as discussed by the authors, which offers the prospect of visualizing arteries by peripheral venous injection.
Abstract: The intense synchrotron radiation produced at electron storage rings provides a new source of X-rays highly suited to iodine K-edge digital subtraction angiography. The high intensity and small angular divergence permit the radiation to be monochromatized by Bragg diffraction and made available in beams of small vertical size, of arbitrary horizontal width, and of tunable energy. The use of such beams provides maximum sensitivity to intra-arterial iodine and virtually eliminates image contrast due to non-vascular body structures. The sensitivity of this method to iodine offers the prospect of visualizing arteries by peripheral venous injection.

TL;DR: In this article, the current theoretical and experimental status of the field of muon decay and its potential to search for new physics beyond the standard model is reviewed, together with the recent up-to-date motivations of lepton flavor violation based on supersymmetric models.
Abstract: This article reviews the current theoretical and experimental status of the field of muon decay and its potential to search for new physics beyond the standard model. The importance of rare muon processes with lepton flavor violation is highly stressed, together with precision measurements of normal muon decay. Recent up-to-date motivations of lepton flavor violation based on supersymmetric models, in particular supersymmetric grand unified theories, are described along with other theoretical models. Future prospects of experiments and muon sources of high intensity for further progress in this field are also discussed.

TL;DR: A review of neutrino mass physics can be found in this paper, where the authors summarize what can be learned about neutrinos interactions as well as the nature of new physics beyond the Standard Model from various proposed Neutrino experiments.
Abstract: This paper is a review of the present status of neutrino mass physics, which grew out of an APS sponsored study of neutrinos in 2004. After a discussion of the present knowledge of neutrino masses and mixing and some popular ways to probe the new physics implied by recent data, it summarizes what can be learned about neutrino interactions as well as the nature of new physics beyond the Standard Model from the various proposed neutrino experiments. The intriguing possibility that neutrino mass physics may be at the heart of our understanding of a long standing puzzle of cosmology, i.e. the origin of matter?antimatter asymmetry is also discussed.
