Mu2e Muon Beam Optimization

Abstract

Mu2e is a new experiment under construction at Fermilab, which will search for coherent neutrinoless conversion of muons to electrons. In order to reach its projected single-event sensitivity of \(3 \times 10^{-17}\), Mu2e will create the most intense muon beam ever developed, with \(10^{10}\) muons per second stopping in the stopping target. Optimization of this muon beam for Mu2e will be discussed.
