Abstract
The existence of a massless Goldstone boson coupling to neutrinos in theories with spontaneous violation of a global symmetry may be consequential in precision measurements of the parameters in muon decay. We calculate the decay parameters for , where the Majoron is the Goldstone boson, and discuss limits on the Majoron-neutrino coupling.
