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?
testing
What competing and complementary measurements are being done by other experiments and what is the current best limit?
testing
Where do the muons come from?
testing
What are the primary experimental challenges?
testing
How can I learn more about the experiment?
testing
