The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab

Creators

  • 1. INFN Pisa (Italy)

Description

The Mu2e Collaboration has proposed an experiment at Fermilab to search for the coherent decay of a muon to an electron in the Coulomb field of a nucleus with an expected sensitivity less than 10-16. In this article the physics motivations and status of the experiment are described.
