Description
Within the scope of the Standard Model, the $\mu\to e+\gamma$ decay is forbidden by lepton flavor conservation. Several lepton flavor violating extensions of the Standard Model however predict a measurable $\mu\to e+\gamma$ branching ratio. The MEG experiment at PSI presently holds the current best experimental limit for this decay ($5.7\times10^{-13}$ at 90% CL) and is currently being upgraded for an improvement of a factor 10 in sensitivity in a time scale of about 4 years. The MEG II upgrade R&D status will be presented, along with the current state of the MEG I data analysis.
