Description

In the next decade, accelerator upgrades are expected in various facilities, making it feasible to have continuous muons beams with an intensity of $10^9$ or even $10^{10}$ muons per second. These progresses would open new prospects in the search for the Lepton Flavor Violating decay $\mu \to e \gamma$. We discuss the potential sensitivity to this decay for experiments exploiting continuous beams at these extremely high rates, by investigating the experimental limiting factors that will define their ultimate performances.
