The analysis of a combined data set, totaling 3.6 × 10(14) stopped muons on target, in the search for lepton flavor violating decay μ(+) → e(+)γ is presented. collected by MEG experiment at Paul Scherrer Institut show no excess events compared to background expectations and yield new upper limit branching ratio this 5.7 10(-13) (90% confidence level). This represents four times more stringent than previous world best set MEG.
The MEG experiment, designed to search for the mu+->e+ gamma decay at a 10^-13 sensitivity level, completed data taking in 2013. In order increase reach of experiment by an magnitude level 6 x 10-14 branching ratio, total upgrade, involving substantial changes has been undertaken, known as II. We present both motivation upgrade and detailed overview design expected detector performance.
We present a new result based on an analysis of the data collected by MEG detector at Paul Scherrer Institut in 2009 and 2010, search lepton-flavor-violating decay μ+→e+γ. The likelihood combined sample, which corresponds to total 1.8×1014 muon decays, gives 90% C.L. upper limit 2.4×10−12 branching ratio μ+→e+γ decay, constituting most stringent existence this date.Received 31 July 2011DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.171801© 2011 American Physical Society
