Abstract
Forbidden in the Standard Model, Charged Lepton Flavour Violation is a strong probe for New Physics. The COMET Experiment will measure one of these processes: that of COherent Muon to Electron Transitions, where a muon converts to an electron in the presence of a nucleus without the emission of any neutrinos. COMET aims to improve the current limit on this process by four orders of magnitude. Being built in two phases at J-PARC, Tokai, Japan, COMET will first take data in 2018, where it should achieve a factor 100 improvement. This report gives an overview of - conversion and the COMET experiment as well as a summary of the recent progress in construction and design.
