Title: Muon $g-2$, Current Experimental Status and Future Prospects

Abstract

Here, the muon gyromagnetic anomaly aμ has been measured with a precision δa_μ/a_μ = 540 ppb using magic-momentum muon decays recorded up to 2001 by the E821 BNL experiment. Two projects aim at significantly improving that experimental precision: the E989 Collaboration at Fermilab plans to collect 21 times the BNL statistics and to improve by a factor four the uncertainty, the E34 Collaboration is designing a new experiment at J-PARC with a novel approach based on the production, injection and storage of ultra-cold low-energy muons. E34 aims at matching the BNL precision in a first phase, and to provide a significantly higher precision measurement in a second phase.

The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab

Conference Chapelain, Antoine - EPJ Web Conf.

The upcoming Fermilab E989 experiment will measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment aμ. This measurement is motivated by the previous measurement performed in 2001 by the BNL E821 experiment that reported a 3-4 standard deviation discrepancy between the measured value and the Standard Model prediction. The new measurement at Fermilab aims to improve the precision by a factor of four reducing the total uncertainty from 540 parts per billion (BNL E821) to 140 parts per billion (Fermilab E989). This paper gives the status of the experiment.

The measurement of muon g − 2 at Fermilab

Conference Girotti, P.

The Muon g−2 Experiment at Fermilab (E989) was built to repeat and improve the previous E821 Experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), aiming to reduce the experimental error by a factor of 4 to the final accuracy of 140 parts per billion (ppb). On April 7th, 2021, the E989 collaboration published the first result based on the first year of data taking (Run-1), measuring aμ = 0.001 165 920 40(54) with a precision of 460 ppb. The measured value is consistent with the BNL measurement and strengthens the long-standing tension with the data-driven SM prediction to a combined discrepancy ofmore »« less

Measurement of vertical betatron oscillations using the straw tracking detectors for the E989 muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab.

Thesis/Dissertation Halewood-Leagas, Tabitha Odell

The measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of electrons and muons has been an important test of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics over many decades. This is because it can be measured experimentally and calculated theoretically to a high precision. In particular the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, a_µ, is an ideal candidate for the search of new physics due to the combination of the muons large mass and relatively long lifetime. The current world’s most precise value of aµ was measured by the E821 experiment at the Brookhaven National laboratory (BNL). This achieved a precision ofmore »« less
