Description

The MEG experiment is searching for the lepton flavor violating decay of a muon, mu+ -> e+ gamma, with a sensitivity that exceeds the previous experiments. Many extensions of the Standard Model, such as Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories, predict the decay to occure near the current upper limit of the branching ratio. In this talk we present our final, updated result using the 2009 data. Prospects for the 2010 data and the future runs are also discussed.
