The rare pion decays π+→ μ+ ν μ ν ν¯ and π+→ e+ ν e ν ν¯ are allowed in the Standard
Model but highly suppressed. These decays were searched for using data from the PIENU
experiment. A first result for Γ (π+→ μ+ ν μ ν ν¯)/Γ (π+→ μ+ ν μ)< 8.6× 10-6 and an improved
measurement Γ (π+→ e+ ν e ν ν¯)/Γ (π+→ μ+ ν μ)< 1.6× 10-7 were obtained.
