The MEGA experiment is designed to search for the rare decay {mu}{r_arrow}{ital e}{gamma} with a branching ratio sensitivity of {similar_to}5{times}10{sup {minus}13}. Production data have been taken during 1992 and 1993, and the detector is working as expected. Following a complete analysis, the present data set should represent an improvement of 12--15 in sensitivity over the previous limit of {mu}{r_arrow}{ital e}{gamma}. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
