Description
This talk will give a concise, graduate-student-level overview of the Mu2e
experiment. It will describe the goal of the Mu2e experiment (to search for
neutrino-less muon-electron conversion), and why this process would indicate
physics beyond the Standard Model. It will further detail the implementation
and design of the experiment: (1) a brief description of how the low-energy,
high-intensity muon beam is produced using Fermilab’s accelerator system, (2)
a small discussion on the three solenoids of the Mu2e experiment and their
function, and (3) a layout of the detector system with descriptions of the primary
detector components.
