Title:     Muon decay in orbit and the search for muon-electron conversion

Abstract: Experiments that search for flavor violation with charged
leptons provide a discovery window for new fundamental interactions.
In particular, muon-to-electron conversion searches using muonic atoms
can reach high sensitivities, and probe interactions at effective-mass
scales above 1000TeV. They must contend, though, with background from
ordinary bound muon decay. In the talk, I will review
conversion-search experiments and provide an updated description of
the muon decay in orbit process, necessary to understand the
backgrounds.
