Description
The status of the MEG II experiment, the upgrade of MEG, whose goal is to
search for the forbidden decay mu -> e+ gamma with increased precision, is presented.
After a brief review of the motivations behind such a search and the current limit
due to MEG, we present the design of the detector in detail.
The motivations of the upgrade of each subdetector is presented
with the resolution improvements expected and measured.
Novel subdetectors and calibration hardware are introduced.
Results from beam tests on the subdetectors are presented.
The schedule of the forthcoming years is presented.
We conclude with the expected sensitivity of the MEGII experiment.
