Abstract

Calculating the differential cross section of the process e(+)e(-) --> mu(+)mu(-), differential decay probabilities of mu(-) --> e(-)gamma, mu(-) i --> e-<(nu)over bar>(e) nu(mu) and heavy neutrino decays, we investigate the contribution of the transition magnetic moment to these processes in the magnetic model. We find that asymmetry arising from the interference of the electroweak amplitude with a small contribution is a result of the transition magnetic moment in the e(+)e(-) --> mu(+)mu(-) process. We also obtain an upper limit for the transition magnetic moment of the heavy neutrino.
