CollaborationIntro

Introduction

The Mu2e Collaboration consists of over 200 members representing institutions in the United States, Italy, the UK, Russia and Germany. Physicists, engineers, technicians and computing professionals at all levels of their careers are involved in this project. The collaboration is responsible for building and operating the experimental apparatus and analyzing the resulting data. An up-to-date list of the institutions that are members of the Mu2e Collaboration can be found here[1].

Working Groups

There are a number of working groups in the collaboration (in addition to the groups associated with the various detectors and hardware.) These are the Computing and Software Working Group, the Simulations Working Group and the Trigger Working Group. Members of the collaboration are welcome to join and contribute to these working groups.

The Computing and Software Working Group is responsible for developing, documenting and maintaining the software needed to operate the experiment and the analysis of the data for the physics results. The Simulations Working Group maintains the list of priorities for simulation, which has included supporting the design of the experiment, sensitivity projections, and enabling the validation of the performance. The Trigger Working Group is to define, develop and document the selections (triggers) that will be needed to successfully run the experiment and produce physics results.

A description of the working groups, with their leadership and charge is available at this internal link[2]

Young Mu2e

Young Mu2e is a group within the Mu2e collaboration that represents early-career scientists working on the experiment. More information can be found on our wiki page: Young Mu2e

Code of Conduct

Mu2e is an incredibly challenging experiment that requires our detectors, software and processes to all work extremely well in order to be successful. Our collaboration has a mission statement and a code of conduct to guide our working practices so that all members of Mu2e are free to contribute their best to the experiment.[3]

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

The Mu2e collaboration takes issues surrounding equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) seriously. We have two EDI officers appointed by the spokespeople who can be contacted in case you have suggestions or concerns. They are also helping educate the collaboration so that we can collectively improve the climate. If you have ideas or concerns related to equity, diversity or inclusion, please reach out to the EDI contacts, who are currently Lisa Goodenough from Argonne and Dave Brown from Louisville.
