Mu2e Conceptual Design Report

Mu2e at Fermilab will search for charged lepton flavor violation via the coherent conversion process mu- N --> e- N with a sensitivity approximately four orders of magnitude better than the current world's best limits for this process. The experiment's sensitivity offers discovery potential over a wide array of new physics models and probes mass scales well beyond the reach of the LHC. We describe herein the conceptual design of the proposed Mu2e experiment. This document was created in partial fulfillment of the requirements necessary to obtain DOE CD-1 approval, which was granted July 11, 2012.

Generation of orthogonal boundary-fitted coordinate systems

A method is presented for computing orthogonal boundary fitted coordinate systems for geometries with coordinate distributions specified on all boundaries. The system which has found most extensive use in generating boundary fitted grids is made up of Poisson equations, of which the functions P and Q provide a means for controlling the spacing and density of grid lines in the coordinate system. While questions remain concerning the existence and uniqueness of orthogonal systems, the generating method presented adds to the available, useful techniques for constructing these systems.
