DESCRIPTION:Dinko Pocanic\, University of Virginia\n\nPion and muon\, the l
ightest unstable particles\, were discovered more than fifty years ago\, a
nd have been well studied since. However\, over time the Standard Model (
SM) of elementary particles and interactions has become so successful that
for several key pion and muon properties its predictions are far less unc
ertain than the best available measurements\, primarily those concerning t
he particles' rare decay modes. Thus\, slight deviations from the SM pred
ictions can provide valuable clues to new physics outside of the current S
M.\n
\nIn its first phase\, the PIBETA experiment has measured accu
rately several such rare decays at PSI\, the Swiss meson facility. The ta
lk will focus on the motivation\, experimental apparatus\, method\, and th
e unexpected first results of these measurements.
