  The Mu2e experiment will search for the neutrino-less conversion of a muon
into an electron in the field of an aluminum nucleus. An observation would be
the first signal of charged lepton flavor violation and de facto evidence for
new physics beyond the Standard Model. The clean signature of the conversion
process offers an opportunity for a powerful search: Mu2e will probe four
orders of magnitude beyond current limits, with real discovery potential over a
wide range of well motivated new physics models. This goal requires an
integrated system of solenoids that will create the most intense muon beam in
the world, and suppression of all possible background sources. The Mu2e
components are currently being constructed, with the experiment planned to
begin operations in the Fermilab Muon Campus within the next few years.
