Title: Experiences from the Commissioning and First Physics Run of the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment

Abstract

The Muon g-2 Experiment (E989) at Fermilab is seeking to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of muon ($$a_{\mu}$$) with a precision of 140 parts-per-billion (ppb) and aiming to resolve the discrepancy between the E821 measurement and the Standard Model calculation of $$a_{\mu}$$. In E989, the muon beam is stored in a ring magnet. The anomalous spin precession frequency $$\omega_{a}$$ is measured by counting decay positrons in 24 calorimeters, and the magnetic field is measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probes. Improvements in this experiment with respect to its predecessor and the progress achieved in the commissioning run and the first physics run, Run-1, are presented.
