The design of the MEG II experiment
2018
The MEG experiment, designed to search for the \({\mu ^+ \rightarrow \hbox {e}^+ \gamma }\) decay, completed data-taking in 2013 reaching a sensitivity level of \({5.3\times 10^{-13}}\) for the branching ratio. In order to increase the sensitivity reach of the experiment by an order of magnitude to the level of \(6\times 10^{-14}\), a total upgrade, involving substantial changes to the experiment, has been undertaken, known as MEG II. We present both the motivation for the upgrade and a detailed overview of the design of the experiment and of the expected detector performance.
