Abstract
The Fermilab Mu2e experiment aims to observe charged lepton flavor violation through the direct conversion of a muon to an electron. This can be accomplished with the considerable challenge of manipulating and transporting large numbers of protons confined to a narrow phase space region without significant particle losses or deterioration of beam quality before reaching the production target. In this paper we report the first results from the commissioning the beamline upstream the Mu2e production target. We first discuss the evolution of the beam distribution in x-y plane after collecting a series of beam profiles along the line. Then, we discuss the beam evolution in phase-space by measuring the beam's Twiss parameters using two independent techniques. Finally, with the aid of numerical simulations we compare our measured data with design parameters and discuss similarities and differences observed.
