SSP2012 - 5th International Symposium on Symmetries in Subatomic Physics

The muon as a laboratory for studying charged lepton-flavour violation (cLFV) has proven to be one of the most sensitive areas in the probe to search for “New Physics”, due to the muon’s copious production rate and relatively long lifetime. The search at the intensity frontier with precision-type experiments is complementary to the search for new particles at the high-energy frontier of TeV...

The Mu2e Experiment 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 charged lepton flavor-violating reaction probes new physics complementary to the LHC and can reach a scale unavailable by direct searches at either present or planned high energy colliders....

We would like to describe an experiment, called COMET, to search for muon to electron conversion in a muonic atom at J-PARC. This process is charged lepton flavor violating. Recently we have taken a staging approach, and COMET Phase-I will be mentioned in more details. This has received supportive endorsement from the J-PARC PAC and J-PARC review committees. We are hoping that COMET Phase-I...
