Funded Activity Summary

Probing for physics beyond the Standard Model in Lepton Flavour Violation. The Standard Model of Particle Physics describes the fundamental particles of which matter in the Universe is composed, and the interactions which bind these particles. It is one of the most precisely measured and validated theories which science has produced, and there has as yet been no measurement of fundamental particle interactions which is in conflict with its predictions. This project involving a large international team and highly sophisticated technology will search for evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model by looking for conversion of muons to electrons a reaction which the model prohibits. Observation of this process would be evidence of new particles and interactions, and would revolutionise our understanding of nature.
