Particle physicists study the fundamental building blocks of nature and their interactions. Our current understanding, encompassed by the standard model, leaves us with many mysteries. For example, we cannot account for the prevalence of matter over anti-matter in the universe and we do not know the nature of the observed dark matter in the universe. The Mu2e Experiment will test predictions from a wide variety of theoretical models that are motivated by solving these, and other, mysteries.

Particle physicists study the fundamental building blocks of nature and their interactions. Our current understanding, encompassed by the standard model, leaves us with many mysteries. For example, we cannot account for the prevalence of matter over anti-matter in the universe and we do not know the nature of the observed dark matter in the universe. The Mu2e Experiment will test predictions from a wide variety of theoretical models that are motivated by solving these, and other, mysteries. Click through the sections below to learn more about the physics of, and techniques used, by Mu2e.
