Description
The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab will search for coherent, neutrino-less conversion of muons
into electrons in the field of a nucleus with a sensitivity improvement of a factor of 10,000
over existing limits. Such a lepton flavor-violating reaction probes new physics at a scale
inaccessible with direct searches at either present or planned high energy colliders. The
experiment both complements and extends the current search for muon decay to electron+gamma at MEG and searches for new physics at the LHC. We will present the physics motivation for Mu2e,
the design of the muon beamline and the detector, and the current status of the experiment.
