Description
The COMET experiment will search the muon to electron conversion , which violates lepton-flavor conservation, with a phased approach. The first stage, COMET-Phase-I, will achieve a single event sensitivity of $3×10^{−15}$ with a short muon transport solenoid and a cylindlical detector system. Then in the stage two, COMET Phase-II, finally achieves the sensitivity of $3×10^{−16}$ with a long C shape muon transport solenoid and a curved solenoid spectrometer system. We plan to start the data taking from 2016 and 2019 for Phase-I and Phase-II, respectively. Construction COMET experimental hall and detector are currently underway as well as detailed simulation studies. In this presentation, status and results of backgrounds studies will be reported.
