+COMET [1] is an experiment that aims to search for a charged lepton flavor
+violation (CLFV) process, the muon-to-electron conversion in the presence of
+a nucleus,
+\muec. The process is forbidden in the Standard Model (SM), however is
+predicted to occur in various extensions of SM, such as . Current experimental
+upper limit of the branching ratio is $BR(\mu^{-} + Au \rightarrow e^{-} + Au)
+< 7 \times 10^{-13}$, set by the SINDRUM II experiment [2].
+
+Using the J-PARC proton beam and the pion capture by
+a solenoidal field, COMET will have a single event sensitivity  10,000 times
+better than the current limit. The COMET collaboration has taken a phased
+approach in which the first phase, COMET Phase-I [3], starts in 2013 and
+initial data taking in around 2017. 
+
+In order to optimize detector design for the Phase-I, backgrounds from nuclear
+muon capture are crucial. We have proposed a dedicated experiment , namely
+AlCap, at PSI, Switzerland to study the backgrounds, including: heavy charged
+particles, neutrons and photons. The measurements of heavy charged particles
+have been carried out in the 2013 run and the preliminary analysis results are
+presented in this thesis.

 %% Preface
-\begin{preface}
-	This thesis describes my research on various aspects of the \LHCb
-	particle physics program, centred around the \LHCb detector and \LHC
-	accelerator at \CERN in Geneva.

-	\noindent
-	For this example, I'll just mention \ChapterRef{chap:SomeStuff}
-	and \ChapterRef{chap:MoreStuff}.
