Abstract COMET (COherent Muon to Electron Transition) is an experimental project that hunts for a phenomenon of the conversion from the muon to the electron (mu-e conversion). The mu-e conversion violates the lepton flavor universality and its discovery indicates a proof of the physics beyond the standard model of the particle physics. The experiment utilizes a high-intensity primary proton-beam of J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex). The proton beam is injected to a target about 700mm long to generate a high intensity muon beam so as to accumulate huge statistics and achieve the final goal of a sensitivity of 10⁻¹⁶. Construction of the experimental facility is underway at a high pace towards an engineering run in 2022 and the first physics run in 2023. In this presentation, we would like to present a current status of the COMET facility construction.
