Description

I will review applications of the muon as a probe for new phenomena. Topics to be discussed include the free muon decay and the determination of the Fermi constant; using muonic atoms to measure nuclear form factors and radii, through spectroscopy and capture; the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon; and searches for charged lepton flavor violation such as mu->e+gamma, mu->3e, and the muon-electron conversion.
