Title: Status of the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab

Journal Article · · SciPost Physics Proceedings

The aim of the Muon g-2 g 2 Experiment at Fermilab (E989) is to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment ( a_\mu a μ ) with a relative precision of 140 parts-per-billion (ppb). This precision, which is a factor of four improvement from the current experimental result, will allow for a much more stringent test of the Standard Model. This paper present the current status of the experimental measurement of a_\mu a μ after the first physics run.
