Abstract:

Predictions of gauge theories, which hold forth the tantalizing prospect of a unified, renormalizable picture of weak and electromagnetic interactions, must be comprehensively tested. Neutral heavy leptons, present in most gauge theories, are prime candidates for search. New information about them is expected from no existing or planned experiment anywhere. We propose here a definitive search for neutral heavy muons in the mass range 2-10 GeV. The apparatus, consisting mainly of magnetized iron slabs and proportional chambers, is to occupy the downstream portion of the NAL Muon Laboratory. The 12 experiment requires 10 200 GeV muons, which may concurrently illuminate the Muon Scattering Facility target upstream. Strong features of the proposed spectrometer make possible additional new measurements.
