Abstract

QED processes up to O(α⁴) have been studied at center-of-mass energies between 50 and 57 GeV using the AMY detector at TRISTAN. A possible substructure of the electron and muon is investigated in terms of chiral invariant contact interactions and also in terms of excited lepton production. The differential cross section data for e⁺e^-→e⁺e^- are consistent with the standard model at a confidence level of only 3.5%. From the absence of excited lepton production, we establish new upper limits on the coupling to excited electrons of mass up to 56 GeV/c² and on the coupling to excited muons of mass up to 52 GeV/c².
