Description
Summary
Mu3e is an experiment searching for charged lepton flavor violation in the rare decay $\mu \rightarrow $ eee with a sensitivity goal of $10^{-16}$.
Decay vertex position, decay time and particle momenta have to be precisely measured in order to reject both combinatorial and physics background.
A silicon pixel tracker based on 50 $\mu$m thin high voltage monolithic active pixel sensors (HV-MAPS) on ultra-thin support structures in a 1T magnetic field will deliver precise vertex and momentum information.
A scintillating fibre detector and a scintillating tile detector will provide sub ns time information.
The status of the Mu3e detector will be presented.
The development of HV-MAPS chip prototypes will be discussed, highlighting results from the characterization at test-beam campaigns.
The current status of pixel detector modules with emphasis on performance of the novel aluminum based flex-prints will be presented.
The performance of the timing detector prototypes as well as the front-end electronics will be covered.
