Abstract

In this paper, we present a feasibility study of the first measurement of the longitudinal polarization of a muon from the \(\tau\)-lepton decay to extract the Michel parameter \(\xi^{\prime}\) at the future Super Charm-Tau Factory (SCTF). The expected number of \(\mu^{-}\to e^{-}\nu_{\mu}\bar{\nu}_{e}\) events on the full SCTF data was estimated, possible background processes were studied, and methods of their suppression were suggested. Statistical accuracy was estimated to be \(\sigma_{\xi^{\prime}}\approx 0.02\), which enables a new verification of the Standard Model at high precision level.
