Abstract:
The phi-meson leptonic widths, Gee and Gmm, are obtained, respectively, from the e+e- forward-backward asymmetry and the muon cross section around the phi-mass energy. We find Gee=1.32⊕:0.05⊕:0.03 kev and sqrt(GeeGmm)= 1.320⊕:0.018⊕:0.017 kev. These results, compatible with Gee=Gmm, provide a precise test of lepton universality. Combining the two results gives G_lept=1.320⊕:0.023 kev.
