Description

Physics motivation and phenomenology of muon to electron conversion (μ-+N(A,Z)→e-+N(A,Z)) in a muonic atom, which is one the most important muon processes to search for lepton flavor violation of charged leptons, are presented. Prospects for future experiments at J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Complex) in Japan, such as the COMET experiment for a sensitivity of less than 10-16 as the first stage, and then the PRISM/PRIME experiment for a sensitivity of less than 10-18 as the ultimate stage, are discussed.
