Description
The Mu3e experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) aims to find or exclude the lepton-flavour violating decay of a positive muon to two positrons and an electron with an ultimate sensitivity of one in 10^16 decays. A high signal efficiency and a rejection of all backgrounds to that level requires excellent momentum and timing resolution, which Mu3e provides by using ultra-thin monolithic pixel sensors combined with scintillating fibres and tiles for timing. The talk will discuss the design and development of the experiment and report on the ongoing final assemby.
