The muon-to-electron conversion experiment (Mu2e) is designed to search for
the coherent, neutrino-less conversion of a muon to an electron, in the
Coulomb field of a nucleus. Should this process be observed it will provide
dramatic evidence of a new physical process
that is beyond our current understanding of elementary particle physics,
thereby opening a new window on the wonders of the universe.
Read more about this inside the Mu2e website.
The Mu2e Collaboration is a group of more than 65 physicists drawn from about 20 research institutions in Italy, Russia and the United States of America, who have come together to mount this experiment. The Mu2e experiment will utilize an intense muon beam produced by the accelerator complex at the Fermi National Accelerator Lab, located in the far west suburbs of Chicago, Illinois in the USA. The experiment is still being developed; construction is planned to start around 2013, and data taking around 2017.
