Abstract

We describe the present status of the MEG experiment, whose aim is to search for the lepton flavour violating (LFV) process μ +→e +γ with a sensitivity down to 10 -13. Recent theoretical calculations indicate a strong connection between LFV processes and neutrino oscillations [Masiero A et al 2004 JHEP 0403 046; Hisano J and Nomura D 1999 Phys. Rev. D 59 116005]. We discuss the detection techniques and the performances of the experiment.
