Description
One of the many probes for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) studies is the search for Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV). The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for the neutrinoless muon-to-electron conversion in the nuclear field. In Aluminum, the experimental signature of this process is a 104.97 MeV mono-energetic electron conversion. [1]. The Mu2e experiment plans to measure the ratio of muon-to-electron conversion with respect to all muon captures with a precision of $3\times10^{-17}$. This would be an improvement of four orders of magnitude over the current best limit of $7\times10^{-13}$ (90% CL) by the SINDRUM-II experiment [2]. The proposed talk introduces the Mu2e design strategy, detectors, and background rejection techniques unique in this research area. Installation of components, recent R&D work, and a plan for a possible successor Mu2e-II will also be highlighted.
