Description
The lepton flavor violation decay muon -> eee provides an excellent testing ground for physics beyond the SM. This process being experimentally excluded with Br(mu->eee) < 10^-12 (90% CL),
the Mu3e collaboration aims at improving the sensitivity of the former SINDRUM experiment by four orders of magnitude down to 10^-16 by exploiting novel detector technologies.
The physics motivation for a dedicated LFV search in the mu->eee channel is given and the status of the Mu3e experiment is reported. Emphasis will be put on new detector developments like the HV-MAPS silicon pixel technology which offers many new opportunities for high rate experiments at low energy.
