Search for Charged Lepton Flavor Violation with Muons at J-PARC. A

by Prof. Yoshitaka Kuno ((Osaka University, Japan))

Monday, October 18, 2010 from 02:30 to 03:30 (Asia/Kolkata)
at Colaba Campus ( AG-66 )

Description

Physics motivation of charged lepton fla-
vor violation (cLFV) with muons, which has attracted
much attention from particle physics theorists and ex-
perimentalists, is discussed. The experimental pro-
gram at J-PARC (COMET) to search for muon to
electron conversion, which is one of the cLFV pro-
cesses, at a sensitivity of better than 10−16 is presented.
The COMET experiment is stage-1 approved at J-
PARC. Future prospect to search for the same process
at a sensitivity of better than 10−18 (PRISM/PRIME)
is also mentioned. And the R&D for the COMET
and PRISM will be given, together with the on-going
project to construct a muon source of 108 muon/sec at
Osaka University (the MUSIC project)
