The MEG experiment completed data taking in 2013 after several years and published in 2016 the most stringent upper limit on the BR(μ⁺ → e⁺γ) < 4.2 × 10⁻¹³ at 90 % confidence level. Recently, the search for μ⁺ → e⁺X, X → γγ was conducted using the full MEG data sample and the results reported. To improve the sensitivity to the BR(μ⁺ → e⁺γ) down to 6 × 10⁻¹⁴, the experiment has been upgraded as MEG II. The MEG II apparatus is ready for an engineering run at the end of 2021. Furthermore, MEG II plans to perform a measurement of the beryllium anomaly in the beginning of 2022.
