Description
The proposed Mu2e experiment aims to search for neutrinoless muon to electron conversion with a sensitivity four orders of magnitude better than previous experiments. To achieve this goal, Mu2e needs to obtain a cosmic ray veto efficiency of better than 99.9%. Here we report the preliminary results of recent R&D efforts for a three-layer plastic scintillator veto system. The results are obtained from the studies of a PMT-based prototype module and single scintillator counter read out by SiPMs.
