Mu2e Newcomer FAQ: Physics and the Experiment

What is Mu2e trying to measure?	Expand
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?	Expand
SUSY, etc. here for a test
