The Mu2e experiment will measure the charged-lepton flavor violating (CLFV)
neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of a
nucleus. Mu2e will improve the previous measurement by four orders of
magnitude, reaching a 90% C.L. limit of $8\times10^{-17}$ on
the conversion rate. The experiment will reach mass scales of nearly $10^4$ TeV,
far beyond the direct reach of colliders. The experiment is sensitive to a wide
range of new physics, complementing and extending other CLFV searches. Mu2e is
under design and construction at the Muon Campus of Fermilab; we expect to
start taking physics data in 2022 with 3 years of running to achieve our target
sensitivity.
