Muon Anomalous Precession Frequency Measurement Using Lead Fluoride Calorimeters in the Muon g-2 Experiment
- Washington U., Seattle
aThe Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been strikingly successful in explaining a wide range of physical phenomena and almost all experimental results. One of the most significant discrepancies at present is the anomalous magnetic moment $$a_\mu$$=(g−2)/2 of the muon, which was measured by the E821 collaboration at BNL in 2004 to be more than three-standard-deviation greater than the SM prediction. Various models beyond SM physics have been proposed to explain this discrepancy, but the key to resolving this tension remains a more precise measurement of $$a_{\mu}$$. The Muon g-2 collaboration at Fermilab aims to measure $$a_{\mu}$$ with a precision goal of 140 parts per billion, a fourfold improvement over BNL's result. If the central values of the experimental result and the theoretical prediction remain unchanged, the discrepancy will exceed seven standard deviations which a clear indication of physics beyond SM. In this poster, preliminary results from th e ongoing physics data taking will be presented, especially on the measurement of the muon anomalous precession frequency using lead fluoride calorimeters. Energy calibration and timing alignment procedures of calorimeter channels will also be described, and their impact on high-level analyses will be discussed.
