Search for Muon-to-Electron Conversion with the COMET Experiment

Charged Lepton Flavor Violation is expected to be one of the most powerful tools reveal physics beyond Standard Model. The COMET experiment aims search for neutrinoless coherent transition a muon into an electron in field nucleus. Muon-to-electron conversion has never been observed, and can be, would clear evidence new if discovered. experimental sensitivity this process, defined as ratio muon-to-electron rate total capture rate, significantly improved by factor 100 10,000 coming decade. will take place at J-PARC with single event sensitivities orders 10?15 10?17 Phase-I Phase-II, respectively. ambitious goal achieved realizing high-quality pulsed beam unprecedentedly source together excellent detector apparatus that tolerate severe radiation environment. construction line, superconducting magnets, detectors electronics progress towards forthcoming experiment. We present methods, backgrounds along recent status prospects.
