Description
The Mu3e collaboration is currently constructing the phase I experimental setup at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) over the next two years. A very successful prototype run confirmed the technical concepts being feasible. This setup will reach an unprecedented sensitivity for an upper limit of $BR(\mu\rightarrow e e e) < 10^{-15}$ using a stopping rate of $10^8 \mu^+/s$ on the target. The following phase II experiment will make use of an improved detector design and the increased muon rate at the prospective Hight Intensity Muon Beamline at PSI, ultimately reaching $< 10^{-16}$ using $10^9 \mu^+/s$ stopping on the target. Beyond that, even higher intensities will be needed.
This talk will give an overview of the Mu3e experiment, the detector concepts (with remarks on how they would perform at higher mmuon stopping rates), its current status and the plans for the future.
