Description
The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab aims to observe
neutrinoless muon to electron conversion in the presence of an Al nucleus ($\mu^{-}$Al \rightarrow e$^{-}$Al). The signal is a monochromatic conversion electron of energy 104.97\,MeV. This process is an example of the charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) which is highly suppressed in the Standard Model (SM) and lies far beyond the reach of current experimental capabilities. Any observation of the signal would be evidence of physics beyond the SM. The current upper limit for R$_{\mu,e}$ is 7\times10$^{-13}$ (at 90\% CL) from the SINDRUM II experiment and Mu2e aims to improve on this by four orders of magnitude. The article presents the physics goals of the experiment, configuration of the detectors and their subsystems. The construction of Mu2e is underway and the commissioning will start in late 2025. The current status of the experiment will be discussed, with a particular focus on the installation of the detectors.
