Abstract

The MEG experiment searches for a lepton-flavor violating muon decay, μ+→e+γ, with a single event sensitivity of 10−13 by employing an innovative detector system and world's most intense DC muon beam provided at the Paul Scherrer Insitute. We completed detector construction in 2008 and started physics data acquisition. A preliminary report on the detector performance and possible reach of the experiment using 2008 data will be presented.
