Abstract:

Considering the peculiar position of the muon among the elementary particles, it seems reasonable to assume an inner structure for this particle. As it seems we are now reaching a new experimental stage in which the determination of the structure of the muon seems possible, we must consider theoretically how to determine it through the various decay processes. The analyses proposed here are mainly connected to pion and muon decay problems. Assuming the so-called universal Fermi interaction, with V and A couplings, by which the decay processes are realized, our considerations are restricted to the behaviours of the non-local form factor which arise from the muon structure. Also possibilities of the electron structure are discussed. The present analysis sensitively depends on the deviation of the asymmetry parameter. Its deviations from the original local value must be within about 6
