Abstract
The transverse polarization of the muon () in the decay → is a very useful tool for studying CP violation because a detectable nonzero can only arise from physics beyond the standard model. Further, is interesting because it probes a different region of parameter space than many other CP-violating observables. To help justify an experimental search, we present three models which give ≳ and which are not contradicted by other experimental data. We also comment on K→πμμ decays.
