Charged Lepton Oscillations and (g-2) Measurements

Abstract

Traditional analysis of $g=2(1+κ)$ experiments for charged leptons use a classical spin vector picture. For muons, we here employ a more exact Dirac quantum four component spinor theory. Survival probabilities (including wave packet effects) are computed. These oscillate with the frequency $Ω=(κeB/Mc)$ as has been assumed in previous muon $(g-2)$ experimental analyses; i.e. muon survival probability oscillations are already at the root of previous succesful $(g-2)$ measurements. Further oscillations should also be observed if mixed neutrino mass matrices were to enter into the reactions (e.g. $π^+ \to μ^+ +ν_μ$) producing muons.
