Description
A letter of intent to search for the lepton flavor violating decay process μ → eee with a sensitivity of B(μ → eee) < 10-16 at 95% CL was recently submitted to PSI by the Mu3e collaboration. The physics motivation and the technological challenges of such an experiment, together with the importance of the installation of a new high intensity muon source are discussed.
