Description

The proposed Mu2e experiment aims to search for neutrino-less muon to electron conversion with sensitivity improved by three orders of magnitude relative to previous experiments. To achieve this goal, Mu2e needs to obtain a cosmic ray veto efficiency of better than 99.9%. We report the preliminary results of recent R&D efforts for three-layer plastic scintillator veto system. The results are obtained from the studies of a PMT based prototype module and single scintillator counter read out by SiPMs
