| The '''Michel parameters''', usually denoted by <math>\rho, \eta, \xi</math> and <math>\delta</math>, are four parameters used in describing the phase space distribution of leptonic decays of charged [[lepton]]s, <math>l_{i}^-\rightarrow l_{j}^{-}\nu_{i}\bar{\nu_{j}}</math>. They are named after the physicist [[Louis Michel (physicist)|Louis Michel]]. Sometimes instead of <math>\delta</math>, the product <math>\xi\delta</math> is quoted. Within the [[Standard Model]] of [[electroweak interaction]]s, these parameters are expected to be
| |
| :<math> \rho={3\over4}, \quad \eta=0, \quad \xi=1, \quad \xi\delta={3\over4}.</math> | |
| Precise measurements of energy and angular distributions of the daughter leptons in decays of polarized [[muon]]s and [[tau lepton]]s are so far in good agreement with these predictions of the Standard Model.

| |
| Let us consider the decay of the positive muon:
| |
| :<math>\mu^+\to e^+ + \nu_e + \bar\nu_\mu.</math>
| |
| In the muon [[rest frame]], energy and angular distributions of the [[positron]]s emitted in the decay of a polarised muon expressed in terms of Michel parameters are the following, neglecting electron and [[neutrino]] masses and the radiative corrections:
| |
| :<math>\frac{d^2\Gamma}{x^2dxd\cos\theta} \sim (3-3x) + \frac{2}{3}\rho (4x-3) + P_{\mu}\xi\cos\theta
| |
| [(1-x)+\frac{2}{3}\delta(4x-3)],</math>
| |
| where <math>P_{\mu}</math> is muon polarisation, <math>x=E_e/E_e^{max}</math>, and <math>\theta</math> is the angle between muon [[Spin (physics)|spin]] direction and positron momentum direction.<ref>

| |
| | |
| For the decay of the positive muon, the expected decay distribution for the [[Standard Model]] values of Michel parameters is
| |
| :<math>\frac{d^2\Gamma}{dxd\cos\theta} \sim x^2[(3-2x) - P_{\mu}\cos\theta(1-2x)].</math>
| |
| Integration of this expression over electron energy gives the angular distribution of the daughter positrons:
| |
| :<math>\frac{d\Gamma}{d\cos\theta} \sim 1 + \frac{1}{3}P_{\mu}\cos\theta.</math>
| |
| The positron energy distribution integrated over the polar angle is
| |
| :<math>\frac{d\Gamma}{dx} \sim (3x^2-2x^3).</math>
