Abstract
The \emph{Mu3e} experiment aims for a single event sensitivity of 2$\cdot$10$^{-15}$ on the charged lepton flavour violating $\mu^+\rightarrow e^+ e^+ e^-$ decay. The experimental apparatus, a light-weight tracker based on custom High-Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors placed in a 1~T magnetic field is currently under construction at the Paul Scherrer Institute, where it will use the full intense 10$^8$ $\mu^+$/s beam available. A final sensitivity of 1$\cdot$10$^{-16}$ is envisioned for a phase II experiment, driving the development of a new high-intensity DC muon source.

The article is ready for publication. However, there are very few typos which should be removed.
Main text:
L41 should "be" consistent (missing verb)
L48 remove "background" (duplication)
L71 "series of prototypes" insert "the sensor" (missing none)
L73 delete "," at beginning of line (too many commas)
Abstract:
L14 "DC" -> "continuous" (suggestion)
this might improve the readability for non muon beam experts

(in reply to Anonymous Comment on 2021-05-13 [id 1423])I thanks the reviewer catching these last few typos. A corrected manuscript is resubmitted.
