Description
Mu2e will search for coherent, neutrino-less conversion of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus, witha sensitivity improvement of a factor of 10,000 over existing limits.
Such a lepton flavor-violating reaction probes new physics at a scale
unavailable by direct searches at either present or planned high energy
colliders. The physics motivation for Mu2e will be presented, as well
as the design of the muon beamline and spectrometer. A scheme by
which the experiment can be mounted in the present Fermilab accel-
erator complex will be described. Prospects for increased sensitivity
from the Project X linac that is being proposed by Fermilab will be
discussed.
