Periodic Reporting for period 1 - COMETBMP (Designing, Optimising and Validating the Beam Measurement Programme at the New Intense Muon Beam Line for the COMET Muon-to-Electron Search Experiment)

The COMET experiment will search for muon-to-electron conversion in aluminium, Al + μ- -> Al + e-, at J-PARC in Japan, with a single-event sensitivity of up to O(10^-17) [1]. The conversion process violates charged lepton flavour conservation. Its branching ratio is estimated...
