A direct measurement of pmu xi from muon decay

The asymmetry of the positron distribution in polarised muon decay provides confirmation that the weak interaction maximally violates parity conservation. Since 1957 the quantity Pmu xi has been measured with increasing precision, where Pmu is the polarisation of the muon, and xi is a parameter desc...
