    The pion branching ratio, R π = Γ ( π + → e + ν e + π + → e + ν e γ ) Γ ( π + → μ + ν μ + π + → μ + ν μ γ ) , provides a sensitive test of lepton universality and constraints on many new physics scenarios. The theoretical uncertainty on the Standard Model prediction of R π is 0.02 %, a factor of twenty smaller than the experimental uncertainty. The analysis of a subset of data taken by the PIENU experiment will be presented. The result, R π = (1.2344 ± 0.0023( s t a t ) ± 0.0019( s y s t )) ⋅ 10 −4 1 , is consistent with the Standard Model prediction and represents a 0.1 % constraint on lepton non-universality.
