A NEW MEASUREMENT OF THE ANOMALOUS MAGNETIC MOMENT OF THE MUON

Journal Article · · Phys. Letters

By analysis of the precession of polarized mu mesons in a 16-kOe magnetic field, the anomalous magnetic moment of the mu meson is measured as (1162 plus or minus 5) x 10/sup -6/. The results, within 5 parts in 10/sup 5/, also yield that the mu charge (q/sub mu /) is equal to the electron charge (q/ sub e/) and that the charge of the nu /sub mu / equals zero. The results are used to calculate the mu mass as (206.768 plus or minus 0.003)m/sub e/. (T.F.H.)
