摘要:In experiments to search for the coherent neutrino-less conversion of a muon into an electron
in the field of a nucleus, the characteristic of a muon beam can limit the achievable sensitivity.
Two main limiting factors of the sensitivity, a backgrounds level and an energy resolution of
the conversion electrons, are discussed for the MECO-type experiments. The PRISM/PRIME
experiment is a solution to improve the sensitivity below 10−18 using a muon storage ring, which
is called PRISM-FFAG. Its R&D status is also described briefly.
