Abstract
We present an analytical formula for the collinearity angle distribution of and in the process followed by heavy-lepton decay , . Both and couplings are included, as is a mass for the . At high energies we find that the collinearity angle distribution in becomes a function of the single scaling variable , where and are heavy-lepton boost parameters from the rest frame to the laboratory frame. This scaling in may be compared with the scaling in in hadron physics, and it holds independently of the detailed coupling scheme. A violation of this scaling is a signal of the appearance of heavier leptons.
