\begin{alertblock}{Introduction}
|
||||
Charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) has attracted much attention
|
||||
from experimentalists and theorists in particle physics. The CLFV rates
|
||||
are predicted to be in the order of of O($10^{-54}$) in the Standard
|
||||
Model.
|
||||
Charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) has yet to be observed and is
|
||||
known to be sensitive to new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM).
|
||||
Various extensions of the SM predicts that cLFV occurs at a detectable
|
||||
branching ratio. Therefore, from experimental point of view, it is
|
||||
attractive to search for cLFV with more powerful beams and better
|
||||
detection technologies.
|
||||
|
||||
Among the cLFV processes, $\mu-e$ conversion, a coherent neutrino-less
|
||||
conversion of muon to electron in the presence of a nucleus: \muecaz,
|
||||
is our interest. We have proposed a new search for $\mu -e$ conversion
|
||||
at J-PARC, the E21 experiment - \textcolor{red}{COMET}(
|
||||
\textcolor{red}{COherent Muon to Electron Transition}). The single
|
||||
event sensitivity (SES) of COMET will be $2.6\times10^{-17}$, which is
|
||||
10,000
|
||||
times better than that of the current experimental limit
|
||||
set by SINDRUM II at $7\times10^{-13}$.
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, any observation of CLFV processes would be an
|
||||
unambiguous signal for physics beyond the Standard Model. The COMET is
|
||||
an experiment that aims to search for a CLFV process of
|
||||
muon-to-electron conversion in the presence of a nucleus, \muec. Using
|
||||
the J-PARC proton beam and the pion capture by a solenoidal
|
||||
field, COMET expects to have a sensitivity a factor of 10,000 times
|
||||
that of the current limit. The COMET experiment has taken a phased
|
||||
approach in which the COMET Phase-I (first phase) will start its
|
||||
construction in 2013 and initial data taking in around 2016. Some more
|
||||
details of COMET Phase-I and its related issues will be presented.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
\begin{alertblock}{Staging approach of the COMET}
|
||||
The proposed J-PARC mid-term plan includes the construction of the
|
||||
COMET beamline. This will provide the proton beamline for COMET and
|
||||
part of the muon beamline in the south area of the J-PARC Hadron
|
||||
Experimental Hall. We consider a staged approach for COMET: “COMET
|
||||
Phase-I” and “COMET Phase-II”.
|
||||
In order to realize the COMET experiment, a two-stage approach has been
|
||||
taken. COMET Phase-I aims at an intermediate SES of $3\times10^{-15}$,
|
||||
which is an improvement of a factor of 100 compares to SINDRUM II. In
|
||||
addition, the COMET Phase-I will make direct measurement of the proton
|
||||
beam extinction and other potential background sources for the COMET
|
||||
Phase-II experiment, using the actual COMET beamline.
|
||||
|
||||
For the COMET Phase-I, we will construct the first 90 degrees of the
|
||||
muon beamline so that a muon beam can be extracted to the experimental
|
||||
area. Then, we will:
|
||||
|
||||
1) make a direct measurement of the proton beam extinction and other
|
||||
potential back- ground sources for the COMET Phase-II ex- periment,
|
||||
using the actual COMET beamline, and
|
||||
|
||||
2) carry out a search for e conversion with a singe-event
|
||||
sensitivity (S.E.S.) of 3 1015, which is better than achieved
|
||||
by SINDRUM-II.
|
||||
After these measurements, the muon transport will be extended up
|
||||
to 180 degrees for the COMET Phase-II. We will start the e
|
||||
conversion search with S.E.S. of 3 1017 sensitivity with an
|
||||
electron spectrometer and detectors

The COMET Phase-I funding has been approved. Experimental hall
|
||||
construction and beam
|
||||
line design are in progress, and expected to finish in 2015. The layout
|
||||
of the COMET beam line at Hadron Hall, J-PARC is shown in the Fig.
|
||||
\ref{fig:cometbeamline}. For the COMET Phase-I, we will
|
||||
construct the first 90 degrees of the muon beamline before extracting
|
||||
to the experimental area. Data taking is expected to start around 2016.

muons, and a well determined range of muons in the targets. A

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.
