The Mu2e collaboration is building a high-energy experiment to search for muons spontaneously converting directly into electrons. Current physics theories do not allow for this conversion so if we do observe it, the theories would be have to be expanded in whole new directions and set our path towards many more discoveries.
- If you are asking "what is a muon?" this is a great place to start exploring high-energy physics
Physics concepts and techniques
- learn about the concept of Mu2e, what is measured, what the backgrounds are. Also see the FAQ
Fermilab, Mu2e beam, and detector
- learn about the detector components' layout and expected performance. Also see the FAQ
- if you are a physicist and joining or visiting Mu2e...
- if you are a physicist and starting work with Mu2e code and data ...
- Mu2e Design Reports, Proposals, collaboration lists, contacts, and other formal documentation
