Title:     Mu2e at Fermilab: a search for charged lepton flavor violation in muon to electron conversion

Abstract: The Mu2e experiment will search for the conversion of negative muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus to a few parts in 10^{-17}. This process is sensitive to a range of new physics models inaccessible through other searches.  The ambitious 4 order of magnitude sensitivity improvement over existing limits will probe mass scales up to O(10^4) TeV, far beyond the direct reach of colliders, providing ample opportunities for a discovery.  The design and status of the experiment will be presented.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
