Abstract

The Mu2e experiment will search for the charged lepton flavour violating process of muon-to-electron conversion in the field of an aluminium nucleus. Muon-to-electron conversion is heavily suppressed in the standard model and so an observation of this signal would be a clear sign of new physics. Mu2e will search for the mono-energetic, 105 MeV electron signal with a discovery potential four orders of magnitude better than previous experiments. In this talk, I will give an overview of the Mu2e experiment as well as an update of its current status.
