Description
Mu3e is an experiment under construction at the Paul Scherrer Institute dedicated to the search for the charged lepton flavor violating muon decay, μ→eee, at branching fractions of 10^{-16}, extending the results from SINDRUM by four orders of magnitude.
To track low momentum particles while maintaining good vertex and timing resolution, a combined 4D tracking system integrating HV-MAPS, scintillating fiber and tile technology is employed. Furthermore, to tackle the high data rate of 100 Gbits/s the DAQ chain uses FPGA boards and a farm equipped with GPUs for track reconstruction and rate reduction.
Construction and commissioning status of the scintillating fiber detector will be reported.
