Particle physics frontiers
-Neutrino experiments (NOvA, LBNE, MINOS, MINERvA, and others… )-Precision measurements (g-2)-Rare decays (Mu2e)
Mu2e collaboration
3 / 156 / 28 / 2011
The lepton flavor violation
Neutrinos have mass, so in the SM we can have
Rate < 10-54
(unmeasurably low)
In new physics models one can have
or in presence of a nucleus…
Experiments:Mu2e, SINDRUM II, TRIUMF, COMMET, and others…
Rate ~ 10-

Mu2e achievements
6 / 156 / 28 / 2011
Experimental setup 1
•Proton beam hits production target in Production Solenoid.•Pions captured and accelerated towards Transport Solenoid by graded field.•Pions decay to muons.
7 / 156 / 28 / 2011
Experimental setup II
•Transport solenoid performs sign and momentum selection.•Eliminates high energy negative particles, positive particles and line-of-sight neutrals.
•Muons captured in stopping target.•Conversion electron trajectory measured in tracker, validated in calorimeter.•Cosmic Ray Veto surrounds Detector Solenoid.

Dominant background
9 / 156 / 28 / 2011
Other background sources
-Radiative muon/pion capture-Photon produced that can convert asymmetrically-Beam electrons can scatter in target-Muon/pion decay in flight-Antiprotons and other late arriving particles-Cosmic-ray induced electrons-Protons - Neutrons - Photons from Nuclear capture
None of them produce a sharp peak at 105 MeV:they need to be well known and controlled.
