Precision experiments with muons and neutrons

Abstract

The precision experiments with muons and neutrons are described. The topics selected cover the anomalies of the muon $g_{\mu }-2$ and the neutron lifetime, and searches for charged lepton flavour violation CLFV of ${\mu ^{-} \rightarrow e^{-}}$ transition and the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM). These physics programs are anticipating significant improvements of experimental sensitivities, by a factor of ten to more than 10,000 with novel ideas and methods. They would provide a unique discovery potential to new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, and is complementary to the collider and neutrino physics programs.
