Physics Significance of Muon-to-Electron Conversion

• Maps onto STFC/European Science Priorities

• origin of the Universe, new states of matter, fundamental symmetries, particle generations

• Next generation of experiment is completely different to previous SINDRUM-II and other experiments

• no previous examples of using the new method
• the UK is among the world’s leading nations in this area

• Beginning of a programme of study that spans many orders of magnitude, and many different target nuclei

• not a one-off measurement

• Major contribution to physics guaranteed

• whether a signal is seen or not
• whether colliders see new physics or not

• Could lead to a new era of CLFV studies to follow with multiple observables and experimental methods
