摘要：

The Mu3e experiment is designed to search for charged lepton flavour violation in the process mu(+) -> e(+)e(-)e(+) with a branching ratio sensitivity of 10(-16). This requires a detector capable of coping with rates of up to 2 . 10(9) muons/s whilst being able to reduce backgrounds from accidental coincidences and the process mu(+) -> e(+)e(-)e(+) (nu) over bar (mu)nu(e), to below the 10(-16) level. The use of 50 pan thin high-voltage monolithic active pixel sensors in conjunction with an innovative tracking concept provide the momentum and position resolution necessary, whilst the timing resolution is provided by a combination of scintillating fibres and tiles. The recently approved Mu3e experiment will be located at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland and is currently preparing for detector construction.
