Abstract
The study of the weak interactions involving pions, muons, and nuclei can clarify the laws of weak interactions. The present theoretical interest in muon-electron universality, nonconservation of muon number, and second-class currents is discussed.

This is the Weinberg-Salam model with the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Muiani (GIM) charm scheme. For further details see the talk of S.Weinberg.
For details see the talk of C. Bouchiat.
Unsuccessful attempts to find the 2s → 1s transition in Li, Be, and B are reported by Carter et al. in contribution P3.
A pKenomenological analysis of available data is given by B. Desplanques and J. Missimer in contribution P2. (See also Carnegie-Mellon University preprint COO-3066–82.)

The observations on τ decay imply such a limit; a somewhat better limit should be obtained by careful study of e+e- events. I am indebted to M. Perl for communications on this question.
Preliminary results from an experiment aiming at an accuracy of 0.5% are reported by Dixit et al. in contribution P7.
Experimental searches for the decay μ → e + γ at the 10-9 level are reported by Poutissou et al. and Povel, et al. in contributions P 4, P 18.
