Description
The Mu3e experiment will search for the neutrinoless (lepton flavour violating) decay of an anti-muon to two positrons and an electron $\mu^{+} \rightarrow e^{+}e^{+}e^{-}$, with a sensitivity to a branching ratio smaller than $10^{-15}$ (phase I) and $10^{-15}$ (phase II). To achieve the proposed sensitivity, the mu3e experiment requires excellent vertex resolution, accurate timing, and momentum measurements. These are needed to reduce the main background processes: Michel decays with an internal conversion, and combinatorial backgrounds. The proposed poster will present an overview of the mu3e experiment. A study of the projected senitivity of the experiment is presented as well as work preparing for quality assurance measurement that will take place as part of the assembly work on the Mupix-HV-MAPS pixel tracker in Liverpool.
