Online Track Reconstruction for the Mu3e Experiment — •Haris Avudaiyappan Murugan for the Mu3e collaboration — Institute of Nuclear Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany

The Mu3e experiment aims to find or exclude the lepton flavour violating decay of a positive muon to two positrons and an electron with a branching fraction sensitivity of 10^-16. To observe such a rare event, we require a tracking detector from custom-designed High-Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HV-MAPS) together with timing detectors made from scintillating fibres and tiles for the experiment. The detector will be streaming up to 1 TBit/s of data to the filter farm composed of graphics processing units (GPUs), in which the data rate is reduced to less than 100 MB/s and this filtered data is stored for later analysis. This reduction can be achieved by selecting potential signal events with two positrons and one electron originating from a single vertex through online track and vertex reconstruction on the GPU. During the 2025 beam run we were able to perform/test online tracking and selection of events using the filter farm.
