An observation of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) would be unambiguous evidence for
physics beyond the Standard Model. The Mu2e and COMET experiments, under construction, are
designed to push the sensitivity to CLFV in the μ → e conversion process to unprecedented levels.
Whether conversion is observed or not, there is a strong case to be made for further improving
sensitivity, or for examining the process on additional target materials. Mu2e-II is a proposed
upgrade to Mu2e, with at least an additional order of magnitude in sensitivity to the conversion
rate over Mu2e. The approach and challenges for this proposal are summarized. Mu2e-II may be
regarded as the next logical step in a continued high-intensity muon program at FNAL.
