“Project-X” is a US led initiative at Fermilab with strong international participation that aims to realize a next generation proton accelerator that will dramatically extend the reach of Intensity Frontier research. The state of the art in Super Conducting RF accelerator technology has advanced to a point where it can be considered and implemented as the core enabling technology for a next...

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)...

Charged lepton flavor violating (cLFV) processes are strongly suppressed in the Standard Model, therefore their observation would be a clear indication of New Physics. Most New Physics models predict cLFV at an observable level.
The MEG experiment, at the Paul Scherrer Institute, searches for the cLFV mu ->egamma decay, down to a Branching Ratio of a few 10^(-13), exploiting the most intense...

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...
