Description
The MEGA experiment is designed to search for the rare decay μ→eγ with a branching ratio sensitivity of ∼5x10-13. Production data have been taken during 1992 and 1993, and the detector is working as expected. Following a complete analysis, the present data set should represent an improvement of 12--15 in sensitivity over the previous limit of μ→eγ. copyright 1995 American Institute of Physics
