Muon Physics: g-2/ Mu2e
- Alexx Perloff (University of Colorado Boulder)
The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab measures the magnetic moment of the muon by studying the behavior of muons as they orbit in a magnetic storage ring. Measuring muon precession frequencies relative to magnetic field strength and correcting for a wide array of factors lets us determine the magnetic moment anomaly a_μ = (g-2)/2 to very high precision. The motivation behind this effort is to...
The Mu2e experiment will search for a Standard Model violating rate of neutrinoless conversion of a muon into an electron in the presence of an aluminum nucleus. Observation of this charged-lepton flavor-violating process would be an unambiguous sign of New Physics. Mu2e aims to improve upon previous searches by four orders of magnitude. This requires the world's highest-intensity muon beam, a...
The Mu2e experiment will search for the CLFV neutrinoless coherent conversion of muon to electron, in the field of a nucleus. A custom Event Display has been developed using [TEve][1], a ROOT based 3-D event visualisation framework. Event displays are crucial for monitoring and debugging during live data taking as well as for public outreach. A custom GUI allows event selection and navigation....
The Muon-to-Electron Conversion Experiment (Mu2e) at Fermilab will search for the charged-lepton flavor-violating process of a neutrino-less conversion of a muon to electron in the presence of a nucleus. It will do so with an expected sensitivity that improves upon current limits of four orders of magnitude. Such sensitivity will require less than one expected background event over the...
