Search for charged lepton flavor violation with the COMET experiment

Charged Lepton Flavor Violation is expected to be one of the most powerful tools to reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. The COMET experiment aims to search for the neutrinoless coherent transition of a muon into an electron in the field of a nucleus. The experimental sensitivity of this process is expected to be significantly improved by a factor of 100 to 10,000 in the coming decade. The COMET experiment will take place at Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The construction of the beam line and superconducting magnets has been completed. The commissioning is in progress towards the forthcoming Phase-I experiment. The recent status and prospects are presented.
