Happy that the paper with Di Liu on altering the lifetime of muons using lasers was accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Lett. (journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...). Just the small matter of doing an experiment now!
Vacuum Muon Decay and Interaction with Laser Pulses
Muons decay in vacuum mainly via the leptonic channel to an electron, a muon neutrino and an electron antineutrino. Previous investigations have concluded that muon decay can be significantly altered ...
