    Contact interactions of a muon, an electron and two photons can contribute to the decay μ → eγγ, but also to the conversion of a muon into an electron in the electric field of a nucleus. We calculate the μ → e conversion rate, and show that for the coefficients of operators involving the combination FF ∝ |→E|2 (as opposed to F˜F ∝ →E⋅ →B), the current bound on μ → e conversion is more sensitive than the bound on μ → eγγ.
