Status and perspectives of cLFV at Mu2e

Flavor physics offers a promising way to explore fundamental aspects of the standard model, such asthe mass hierarchy and electroweak symmetry breaking. Within this field, Charged Lepton FlavorViolation (CLFV) stands out as a phenomenon that is strongly suppressed in the Standard Model,making it an excellent probe for potential new physics. Ongoing CLFV experiments, includingMu2e, COMET, MEG, and Mu3e, are preparing for data collection in the coming decade. Amongthe possible searches in the muon sector (𝜇 → 𝑒𝛾, mu3e and muon conversion), two muonconversion experiments will start taking data in few years: Mu2e at Fermilab and COMET atJPArk. Both of them aim to improve the current sensitivity by several orders of magnitude. Thisviolation of charged lepton flavor presents an opportunity to explore novel physics on a scale notcurrently accessible through direct searches at contemporary or planned high-energy colliders.

Towards a muon collider

A muon collider would enable the big jump ahead in energy reach that is needed for a fruitful exploration of fundamental interactions. The challenges of producing muon collisions at high luminosity and 10 TeV centre of mass energy are being investigated by the recently-formed International Muon Collider Collaboration. This Review summarises the status and the recent advances on muon colliders design, physics and detector studies. The aim is to provide a global perspective of the field and to outline directions for future work.
