摘要：
The MEG experiment searches for the rare muon decay mu(+) -> e(+)gamma, which is forbidden in the standard model. The detection of this muon decay is a probe for new physics beyond the standard model. In order to improve the sensitivity of the experiment, a liquid xenon detector is used for measuring energy, position and time of gamma rays. The detector consists of 8001 of liquid xenon and 846 photomultiplier tubes. We have performed beam tests and evaluated resolutions by using a prototype. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
