Description
The Mu2e experiment will search for coherent, neutrino-less conversion
of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus to a few parts in
10^{-17}. This lepton flavor violating process is sensitive to a
range of new physics models inaccessible through other searches. The
ambitious 4 order of magnitude sensitivity improvement over existing
limits will probe mass scales up to O(10^4) TeV, far beyond the direct
reach of colliders, providing ample opportunities for a discovery.
The design and status of the experiment will be presented.
