Description

The MEG experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) searches for the Lepton-Flavour Violating (LFV) decay μ → eγ . The analysis of the data collected in the years 2009-2011 set the most stringent upper limit to date on charged LFV B (μ+ → e+γ ) < 5.7×10−13 at 90% confidence level. The MEG collaboration is working on a detector upgrade, whose new design and associated research and development projects will be illustrated here.
