Search for the rare decay of the muon to three electrons in the Mu3e experiment.

The Mu3e experiment searches for the extremely rare decay of the muon to three electrons. This is a process that potentially occurs in less than 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000 muon decays and its observation would provide unequivocal evidence for new physics beyond the Standard Model. Mu3e uses the high intensity muon facility at the Paul Scherrer…
