Description
The MUonE experiment will precisely measure the differential cross section for elastic scattering of 160 GeV muons on the atomic electrons in fixed low-Z targets. The apparatus has been installed in the M2 beamline at the CERN SPS, just upstream of the AMBER experiment. In summer 2025, a Phase 1 test run was conducted with three tracking stations, out of the forty that are eventually foreseen. These stations were preceded by a beam momentum spectrometer to characterize the incoming muons. They were followed by an electromagnetic calorimeter and a muon tracker that together allowed for effective particle identification. Data from these detectors was digitized on a 40 MHz clock with a new DAQ system that employed FPGA logic to select elastic scattering events. The detector performance in this run and plans for the future will be presented.
