Description
Lepton Flavour Violation in the charged lepton sector (CLFV) is forbidden in the Standard Model. Therefore, the observation of CLFV process would be clear evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model.
The COMET (COherent Muon to Electron Transitions) experiment will measure one of these processes: $\mu N \rightarrow eN$ at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) in Tokai, Japan. The COMET experiment will be conducted in two phases. Phase-I of the
experiment is aiming at a signal sensitivity of $3.1 \times 10^{−15}$. Phase-II will use much more intense beam and a more complex detection system to achieve a single-event sensitivity of ~ $3 \times 10^{−17}$.
This report gives an overview of construction and status of the COMET experiment.
