Mu2e Newcomer FAQ: Physics and the Experiment
| What is Mu2e trying to measure? | |
|---|---|
| Mu2e is an experiment designed to measure the conversion of a muon into an electron (in the field of the nucleus) without the emission of the neutrinos. In the standard model, lepton conservation tells us that when a muon decays to an electron there should be an accompanying muon neutrino to conserve muon number in the decay and an anti-electron neutrino to conserve electron number. | |
| What physics beyond the Standard Model could the experiment be sensitive to? | |
|---|---|
| SUSY, etc. here for a test | |
| Where did the idea originate? | |

| What competing and complementary measurements are being done by other experiments and what is the current best limit? | |
