The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for charged lepton flavor violation via the coherent conversion process mu- N -->e- N with a sensitivity approximately four orders of magnitude better than the current world's best limits for this process. The experiment's sensitivity offers discovery potential over a wide array of new physics models and probes mass scales well beyond the reach of the LHC. We describe herein the preliminary design of the proposed Mu2e experiment. This document was created in partial fulfillment of the requirements necessary to obtain DOE CD-2 approval.

- Charged Lepton Flavour Violation: An Experimental and Theoretical Introduction (2017, methodology): “Muon beams based on lower current, higher energy, proton synchrotrons providing a pulsed beam (10s of Hertz typical repetition rates) are present at facilities at Fermilab in the U.S. and J-PARC in Japan.”
- The design of the MEG II experiment (2018, methodology): “The dominant examples are muon decay-in-orbit and those correlated with the presence of beam impurities, such as pions. In order to reduce these backgrounds the experiments planned at Fermilab (Mu2e) [4,5] and J-PARC (COMET [6,7] and DeeMe [8]) will use pulsed proton beams to produce their muons. Si”
