The Mu3e Experiment

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2022-04-05 v2

Abstract

The Mu3e experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institut will search for the lepton-number-violating decay \mueee, extending the sensitivity by four orders of magnitude compared to existing limits. This probe of new physics is complementary to the existing collider, dark matter and neutrino particle physics programmes, and part of a global programme investigating the charged lepton flavour sector. As well as the main \mueee search, Mu3e will also extend the sensitivity to low-mass dark photons, and additional flavour-violating decays involving long-lived or stable particles.
