Description

Mu3e is a dedicated experiment to search the rare charged lepton flavor violating (cLFV) decay ${\mu }^{+}\to e^{+}{e}^{-}{e}^{+}$ with a sensitivity down to ${10}^{-16}$ under construction at PSI. In the Standard Model, this decay is heavily suppressed with a branching fraction of ${10}^{-54}$. The Mu3e experiment will be able to reconstruct low momentum electrons and positrons from rare $\mu$ decays. Mu3e apparatus consists of a tracking detector based on monolithic active pixel sensors for very precise momentum and vertex reconstruction, combined with scintillating fibers and tiles for very high timing measurements. The motivation for the ${\mu }^{+}\to e^{+}{e}^{-}{e}^{+}$ search will be presented, along with experimental design and subsequent expected sensitivity.
