Abstract

The Coherent Muon-to-Electron Transition (COMET) experiment ispresented, focusing on the particle detection systems. COMET is currentlyunder construction as the first of two phases at the J-PARC protonaccelerator laboratory in Tokai, Japan. COMET will search formuon-to-electron conversion with a single-event sensitivity of 2.6 × 10−17, with Phase-I achievinga sensitivity of 3.1 × 10−15 and due to enter commissioning in 2016. Phase-I will also allow us to studythe novel pion and muon beamline and the rates of background processes.
