			\begin{block}{Introduction - Searches for cLFV}
				\begin{itemize}
						\item Charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) is forbidden in the
							Standard Model. 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.
						%\ref{fig:SMmeg}).

						%\caption{One of the diagrams of massive neutrino contributions to
						%$\mu \rightarrow e\gamma$} 
						%\label{fig:SMmeg}
						%\end{figure}
						\item Two major experiments are going to start to search for the
							cLFV \textcolor{red}{$\mu-e$ conversion}: COMET and Mu2e.  
							%\vskip1ex
							\begin{figure}[h!]

								\caption{What and Why $\mu-e$ conversion}
								\label{fig:mueconv}
							\end{figure}
						\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}:
							\begin{itemize}
								\item [-] COMET Phase I (physics run in 2017): background study
									for Phase II, and search for $\mu-e$ conversion with a
									sensitivity of $\color{red}3.1\times10^{-15}$
								\item [-] COMET Phase II (physics run in 2019): search for
									$\mu-e$ conversion at a sensitivity of
									$\color{red}3\times10^{-17}$
									\begin{figure}[h!]

										\caption{Schematic lay out of the COMET Phase I and COMET
										Phase II}
										\label{fig:cometscheme}
									\end{figure}
							\end{itemize}
						%\item Event signal of $\mu - e$ conversion: a single mono-energetic
							%electron at 105 MeV
							\item One issue of the experiment at Phase I: \textcolor{red}
								{hit rate on the tracking detectors}. In order to optimize the
								targets and the absorber, a study of charged particles,
								especially protons, emitted after muon capture is needed.

								\centering
								\includegraphics[width=0.88\onecolwid]{figs/issue2}
								\caption{Concept of the tracking detectors}
								\label{fig:issue}
							\end{figure}
						\item There are \textcolor{red}{no experimental data}, in the
							\textcolor{red}{relevant energy range}, on the 
							products of muon capture from \textcolor{red}{Al, and Ti target}.
							Both COMET and Mu2e are using extrapolated data from a
							measurement on an active Si target in 1968.

							\begin{itemize}
								\item A joint collaboration between COMET and Mu2e
								\item Goals of the experiment:
									\begin{itemize}
										\item[$\bullet$] measure \textcolor{red}{rate and energy
											spectra} of the charged
											particles (p, d, $\alpha$) emitted after muon capture on
											some targets: 
											\begin{itemize}
												\item [-] Al: default target of COMET and Mu2e
												\item [-] Ti: possible target for future $\mu-e$
													conversion experiments
												\item [-] Si: active target, for cross-checking against
													previous experiment, and studying the energy loss of
													charged particles inside the targets
											\end{itemize}
										\item[$\bullet$] required precision: \textcolor{red}{5\%} 
											for both the rate and the
											energy spectra in  the range from 2.5 $-$ 12 MeV
									\end{itemize}

			\begin{minipage}[t]{\onecolwid}
				\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.
				\end{itemize}
			\end{minipage} % Do not put another blank line after this line because
			%that will mess up the alignment of the two minipages
			\begin{minipage}[t]{\onecolwid} 
				\begin{itemize}
					\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.

							the same value as that is being used in COMET designing
							calculations
						\item [$\bullet$] 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 [$\bullet$] Thickness of the beam counter scintillator: 0.5 mm

%--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}
