Abstract

During the past 12 month period the Valparaiso University group has been active on LAMPF experiment 969, known as the MEGA experiment. This experiment is a search for the decay {mu} {minus}> e {gamma}, a decay which would violate lepton number conservation and which is strictly forbidden by the standard model for electroweak interactions. Previous searches for this decay mode have set limit the present day limit of 4.9 {times} 10{sup {minus}11}. The MEGA experiment is designed to test the standard model predictions to one part in 10{sup +13}.
