Beschreibung

The Mu2e experiment, which is currently under construction at the
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago, will search for
the neutrinoless conversion of muons to electrons in the field of an
aluminum nucleus. This process, which violates charged lepton flavor,
is highly suppressed in the Standard Model and therefore undetectable.
However, scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model predict
small but observable rates. The Mu2e experiment aims for a sensitivity
four orders of magnitude better than previous experiments. This is
achieved by a rigorous control of all backgrounds that could mimic the
monoenergetic conversion electron signal.

I will present the design and current status of the Mu2e experiment and its
detector subsystems, highlighting contributions from HZDR. I will also present
the current timeline of the Mu2 experiment in light of the shutdown of the
FNAL accelerator complex for the PIP-II upgrade.
