Title:     Current status of the MEG experiment, searching for the lepton flavour violating decay mu -> e gamma

Abstract: This talk gives an overview and status report of the MEG experiment at PSI, Switzerland, which searches for the decay m+ -> e+gamma at the 10^-13 level. The motivation for this experiment is discussed and compared with other Lepton Flavor Violating processes such as mu->e conversion. The preliminary result based on the 2009 data is presented, and the potential of the 2010 data which is currently analyzed is indicated. The talk concludes with an outlook of the current data taking and ideas for upgrades of the experiment.

Coffees and cookies will be served at 13:45
