Abstract
The Mu3e experiment searches for the lepton flavor violating decay m + ! e + e e + aiming for a sensitivity of better than 1 in 10 16 decays, a four order of magnitude improvement over the previous search by the SINDRUM experiment. This sensitivity is achieved by a novel experimental design based on thin monolithic active silicon pixel sensors and scintillating fibres and tiles. Here, the Mu3e Experiment is introduced and its experimental challenges and resulting detector concept are discussed. The current state of the detector development with a focus on pixel sensor prototypes and their performance is presented.
