Abstract

The MEG experiment searches for the Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) decay μ+ → e+γ with a goal sensitivity of ∼ 10−13. The observation of this decay would be an unambiguous sign of Physics beyond the Standard Model. MEG has recently concluded its first Physics run with approximately ∼ 94·1012 muons on target accumulated. The analysis of the data is ongoing; a clear signal of the muon radiative decay has been observed demonstrating the ability of the experiment to see possible μ+ → e+γ events.
