Sažetak
(on behalf of the MEG collaboration) The aim of the MEG experiment is to measure the branching ratio of the rare muon decay BR = µ + → e +γ / µ+ → e+νeνµ at a sensitivity of ≈ 10−13. To reach this goal, the experiment must use the most intense continuous muon beam available (≈ 108µ/s) and obtain the highest energy, time and space resolutions, today reachable. MEG started to collect data at the end of 2008. During 2009 a large part of the data taking time was devoted to calibration measurements and detector performance optimizations; a new physics data sample was collected at the end of this year in 1.5 months of acquisition time. A description of the main features of each subdetector and of the measured resolutions are given and the results of the search for µ + → e +γ decay based on the 2009 data sample are presented.
