Description
The Mu2e experiment will search for coherent neutrinoless conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of an aluminium nucleus. Observation of this process would be a signature of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV), a Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) process predicted by various theories. Mu2e aims to improve the current limit by four orders of magnitude, reaching a single event sensitivity of $3 \times 10^{-17}$, which corresponds to an indirect search at an effective mass scale of $10^4$ TeV/c$^2$. The experiment is wrapping up its construction at Fermilab and is starting its commissioning phase, with plans for data taking in 2027.
