F3.00001: Charged lepton flavor violation and Mu2e experiment Invited Speaker: Seog Oh With the discovery of Higgs boson in 2012, the Standard Model was completed, and the search for the physics beyond the Standard Model is in full swing. One of the promising areas where the new physics could show up is the charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) experiments. In this talk, I'll summarize the past and future CLFV experiments, involving $\mu $\textit{ -\textgreater e, }$\mu $\textit{ -\textgreater e}$\gamma , \mu $\textit{ -\textgreater eee, }and \textit{Z -\textgreater }$\mu e$ decay channels, and present the status of the Mu2e experiment at FNAL, which is to search for the neutrino-less muon to electron conversion in the field of a nucleus. The goal of the experiment is to reach a single event sensitivity of 2.8 x 10$^{\mathrm{-17}}$, setting an upper limit on the muon conversion rate at 6.7 x 10$^{\mathrm{-17}}$. This corresponds to a four order of magnitude improvement with respect to the existing limits. [Preview Abstract] |

F3.00002: Precision muon experiments and the standard model. Invited Speaker: Tim Gorringe A new generation of precision muon experiments - utilizing modern technologies for time measurements and data acquisition - have been recently performed or are currently underway. They include measurements of the lifetime of the free muon and muonic hydrogen and deuterium atoms as well as a 140 part-per-billion measurement of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment. These experiments address topics from the determination of standard model parameters and the search for new particles / forces to the dynamical origins of hadronic mass and the detailed understanding of solar hydrogen burning. In this talk we briefly review the program of precision muon and muonic atom lifetime measurements at Paul Scherrer Institute and provide an overview and status of the Fermilab muon g-2 experiment.
