\begin{block}{Introduction - Searches for cLFV}
\begin{itemize} \itemsep1pt \parskip1ex \parsep0pt
\item Charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) is forbidden
in the Standard Model (SM). However, it is predicted to occur in
various extensions of the model. Experimental observation
of cLFV process is a clear evidence of new physics beyond the
SM.

cLFV $\mu \rightarrow e\gamma$}

\end{figure}
\item Muon capture on nucleus:
\begin{itemize}\parskip1ex \parsep0pt
\item Normal decays:

\caption{Fate of captured muons in SM}
\label{fig:normdecays}
\end{figure}
\item \textcolor{red}{Beyond the SM:}
neutrino-less muon decay or $\mu - e$
conversion, lepton flavor violation by one unit:
\[\mu^{-} N \rightarrow e^{-} N \]
\end{itemize}
\item Current upper limit, set by SINDRUM II ~\cite{sindrum}:
\[
Br(\mu^-+Au \rightarrow e^-+ Au)<7\times 10^{-13}
\]
Two new experiments are going to start to search for the
cLFV $\mu-e$ conversion on aluminum target: COMET at J-PARC
~\cite{cdr} and Mu2e at Fermilab. Both projects are now optimizing
parameters to get the final design.
\item The COMET stands for COherent Muon to Electron Transition.
It has been approved by J-PARC in 2009 as experiment J-PARC E21.
The experiment will search for $\mu-e$ conversion on aluminum
target with a single-event sensitivity 10,000 times better
than the current limit. The COMET uses staging approach with two
phases \cite{loi}:

Both COMET and Mu2e are using extrapolated data from a
measurement on an active Si target in 1968 for detectors

\begin{itemize}
\item measure \textcolor{red}{rate and energy
spectra} of the charged
particles (p, d, $\alpha$) emitted after muon capture on
some targets: Al, Ti and Si
\item required precision: \textcolor{red}{5\%}
for both the rate and the
energy spectra in the range from 2.5 $-$ 12 MeV

\item Will be conducted at TRIUMF (Canada) and PSI
(Switzerland).

\begin{itemize}\itemsep1pt \parskip1ex \parsep0pt
\item Low momentum muon beam: to ensure a high rate of stopped
muons, and a well determined range of muons in the targets. A
cloud muon of 30 $-$ 34 MeV/c from a surface muon channel is
optimal.
\item Muon normalization: muonic X-ray measurement by
a germanium detector.

\item The charged particles are measured by dE/dx method
by two pairs of silicon detectors. Active area of each silicon
detector is 5$\times$5 cm$^2$, the dE detectors are 65 $\mu m$
thick, and the E detectors are 1500 $\mu m$ thick.
\item Correction for energy loss of charged particles in the
targets: using the active silicon target.

40 keV for the 140 $\mu m$-thick detectors.

%--Conclusion block-------------------------------------------------------------
% \begin{alertblock}{Conclusion}
% As you can see it is possible to make your poster very colorfull. But in
% most cases this will this will overload your poster. If you don't change
% the color settings you will get the default look, which consits of some
% shades of the jacobs blue and some decent green highlights. These colors
% where chosen carefully to keep a consistent look of the poster. The
% \emph{cpbgposter} style is installed our office computers, so you should be
% able to compile this example out of the box with pdflatex. If you want to
% work on your computer make sure that you have a recent TeX distribution
% (TeXlive 2008, Miktex) and download the beamerthemecpbgposter.sty file from
% our teamwork page and put it in your local TeX directory.
%
% If you have any questions, critics, ideas or if you just want to praise the
% awesome dude who created this insanely great poster style then don't
% hastitate to write an email to \emph{j.liebers@jacobs-university.de}
%% guess what this command is god for!

\begin{itemize}
\item Two major experiments search for $\mu-e$ conversion:
COMET@J-PARC and Mu2e@FNAL
\item Design issue from muon capture process: optimization of the
target thickness and the absorber to reduce hit rate of protons

(p, d, $\alpha$) emitted after muon capture on some targets:
Al, Si and Si (active target),

The schematic view of the experimental set up is shown in the Figure
\ref{fig:setup}:
\begin{itemize}
\item Low momentum muon beam: to ensure a high rate of stopped
muons, and a well determined range of muons in the targets. A
cloud muon of 30 $-$ 34 MeV/c from a surface muon channel is
optimal.
\item The charged particles are measured by dE/dx method
by two pairs of silicon detectors. Active area of each silicon
detector is 5$\times$5 cm$^2$, the dE detectors are 65 $\mu m$
thick, and the E detectors are 1500 $\mu m$ thick.
\item Muon normalization: muonic X-ray measurement by a germanium
detector.
\item Correction for energy loss of charged particles in the
targets: using a response function obtained from the use of the
active silicon target, where the energy loss can be measured. A
waveform digitizer will be used to readout signals from the
active target.

% Simulation result

\begin{itemize}
\item Using Geant4, with assumptions:
\begin{itemize}
\item [-] Muon momentum 30 MeV/c, momentum spread 5\%.
\item [-] Muon intensity: 10$^4$ muons/sec.
\item [-] Proton emission rate is 0.15 per muon capture, the same
value as being used in COMET and Mu2e calculations.
\item [-] Efficiency of silicon detectors are 100\%.
\item [-] Energy resolution (FWHM) of silicon detectors are: 140
keV for the 65 $\mu m$-thick detectors, and 40 keV for the
$140 \mu m$-thick detectors.
\end{itemize}
\item Simulation results of particle identification and rate
estimation is shown in Figure \ref{fig:dEdx} and Table

\begin{itemize} \itemsep0.5pt \parskip0.5ex \parsep0pt
\item Charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) is forbidden
in the Standard Model (SM). However, it is predicted to occur in
various extensions of the model. Experimental observation
of cLFV process is a clear evidence of new physics beyond the
SM.

%\item \textcolor{red}{Beyond the SM:}
%neutrino-less muon decay or $\mu - e$
%conversion, lepton flavor violation by one unit:
%\[\mu^{-} N \rightarrow e^{-} N \]
%\end{itemize}
\item $\mu - e$ conversion: neutrinoless decay of muon to electron
in bound state of a nucleus, in this process, lepton flavor
number is violated by one unit. Current upper limit, set by
SINDRUM II ~\cite{sindrum}:
\[
Br(\mu^-+Au \rightarrow e^-+ Au)<7\times 10^{-13}
\]
\item Two new experiments are going to start to search for the
cLFV $\mu-e$ conversion on aluminum target: COMET at J-PARC
~\cite{cdr} and Mu2e at Fermilab. Both projects are now optimizing
parameters to get the final design.
\item The COMET stands for COherent Muon to Electron Transition.
It has been approved by J-PARC in 2009 as experiment J-PARC E21.
The experiment will search for $\mu-e$ conversion on aluminum
target with a single-event sensitivity 10,000 times better
than the current limit. The COMET uses staging approach with two
phases \cite{loi}:

Both COMET and Mu2e are using extrapolated data from a
measurement on an active Si target in 1968 (fig.

\item Low momentum muon beam: to ensure a high rate of stopped
muons, and a well determined range of muons in the targets. A
cloud muon of 30 $-$ 34 MeV/c from a surface muon channel is
optimal.
\item Muon normalization: muonic X-ray measurement by
a germanium detector.
\end{itemize}

\item The charged particles are measured by dE/dx method
by two pairs of silicon detectors. Active area of each silicon
detector is 5$\times$5 cm$^2$, the dE detectors are 65 $\mu m$
thick, and the E detectors are 1500 $\mu m$ thick.
\item Correction for energy loss of charged particles in the
targets: using the active silicon target.

\begin{itemize}\itemsep1pt \parskip0.5ex \parsep0pt
\item Muon: $p = 30 MeV/c$, $\Delta p/p = 5\%$,
$10^4$ muons/sec
\item Proton emission rate: 0.15 per muon capture,
the same value as that is being used in COMET
designing calculations
\item Energy resolution (FWHM) of silicon detectors
are: 140 keV for the 65 $\mu m$-thick detectors, and
40 keV for the 140 $\mu m$-thick detectors.
%\item Thickness of the beam counter scintillator: 0.5 mm

% \begin{alertblock}{Conclusion}
% As you can see it is possible to make your poster very colorfull. But in
% most cases this will this will overload your poster. If you don't change
% the color settings you will get the default look, which consits of some
% shades of the jacobs blue and some decent green highlights. These colors
% where chosen carefully to keep a consistent look of the poster. The
% \emph{cpbgposter} style is installed our office computers, so you should be
% able to compile this example out of the box with pdflatex. If you want to
% work on your computer make sure that you have a recent TeX distribution
% (TeXlive 2008, Miktex) and download the beamerthemecpbgposter.sty file from
% our teamwork page and put it in your local TeX directory.
%
% If you have any questions, critics, ideas or if you just want to praise the
% awesome dude who created this insanely great poster style then don't
% hastitate to write an email to \emph{j.liebers@jacobs-university.de}
