The current status of the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab — •Stefan E. Müller, Anna Ferrari, Oliver Knodel, and Reuven Rachamin for the Mu2e collaboration — Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Dresden, Germany

The Mu2e experiment, which is currently under construction at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago, will search for the neutrinoless conversion of muons to electrons in the field of an aluminum nucleus. This process, which violates charged lepton flavor, is highly suppressed in the Standard Model and therefore undetectable. However, scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model predict small but observable rates. The Mu2e experiment aims for a sensitivity four orders of magnitude better than previous experiments. This is achieved by a rigorous control of all backgrounds that could mimic the monoenergetic conversion electron signal.

In the presentation, the design and status of the Mu2e experiment and its detector subsystems will be presented.

Keywords: Charged Lepton Flavor Violation; Muon conversion
