  Mu2e at Fermilab will search for charged lepton flavor violation via the
coherent conversion process mu- N --> e- N with a sensitivity approximately
four orders of magnitude better than the current world's best limits for this
process. The experiment's sensitivity offers discovery potential over a wide
array of new physics models and probes mass scales well beyond the reach of the
LHC. We describe herein the conceptual design of the proposed Mu2e experiment.
