T-Odd Correlations in pi->e nu_e gamma and pi->mu nu_mu gamma Decays

Abstract

The transverse lepton polarization asymmetry in pi_l2gamma decays may probe T-violating interactions beyond the Standard Model. Dalitz plot distributions of the expected effects are presented and compared to the contribution from the Standard Model final state interactions. We give an example of a phenomenologically viable model, where a considerable contribution to the transverse lepton polarization asymmetry arises.
