Search for the lepton-flavour violating decay
$\mu^+ \to e^+ e^+ e^-$
The Mu3e experiment is a new search for the lepton-flavour violating decay of a positive muon into two positrons and one electron. See here for a an overview of the experiment.
Current news
Sophie Dietz defends her PhD
Sophie Dietz has successfully defended her doctoral thesis at the University of Mainz. She has developed the powering system for Mu3e, in particular a very high current DC/DC converter and integrated it into the experiment.
Installation of the scintillating tile detector
Mu3e has installed the scintllating tile detector for the 2026 beamtime, for the first time mounting a complete detector station around the beam line. The tiles can measure the arrival time of electrons and positrons with less than 100 ps resolution.
Installation of Scintillating Fibre Detector
Mu3e has installed the scintllating fibre detector for the 2026 beamtime, for the first time mounting this complete detector around the beam line. The scintillating fibres give sub-nanosecond time resolution with a minimum material budget.
