Felix Berg successfully defends his Ph.D. thesis on the Compact Muon Beam Line (CMBL) for Mu3e

Felix Berg has developed a full simulation of the high intensity, compact muon beam line for Mu3e. Beam tests he performed in the piE5 area have validated his simulations and established the beam setup for phase I of Mu3e. He has successfully defended his thesis at ETH Zürich.

Meeting on future directions with Mu3e in Wengen

We spent four days in Wengen, Switzerland, discussing ideas for physics with the Mu3e apparatus beyond the search for the lepton-flavour violating decay of the muon to three electrons. Collaboration members and theorists presented new ideas for future measurements with the high acceptance, high resolution Mu3e spectrometer using high intensity muon and pion beams at PSI. Technical challenges and promising R&D directions related to high-intensity data taking were also discussed in detail.

Mu3e review at the PSI user meeting

In the context of the annual PSI user meeting, the Mu3e experiment underwent a detailed review by the research committee for particle physics at the ring cyclotron, discussing the preliminary version of the phase I Mu3e technical design report.
