The muon anomalous magnetic moment has been measured in a new experiment at Brookhaven. Polarized muons were stored in a superferric ring, and the angular frequency difference, v a , between the spin precession and orbital frequencies was determined by measuring the time distribution of highenergy decay positrons. The ratio R of v a to the Larmor precession frequency of free protons, v p , in the storage-ring magnetic field was measured. We find R 3.707 220͑48͒ 3 10 23. With m m ͞m p 3.183 345 47͑47͒ this gives a m 1 1 165 925͑15͒ 3 10 29 (613 ppm), in good agreement with the previous CERN measurements for m 1 and m 2 and of approximately the same precision.

We present limits on the production of neutral penetrating states produced in 28 GeV proton nucleus collisions. We obtain limits for light, heavy and unstable neutral states. For light stable states out limit ala P < 2.26 X 10 -69 cm4/nucleon 2 is more than a factor of 5.5 better than previous limits. Time of flight techniques are used to study heavy states. We have poor sensitivity to short-lived states. 0 031-9163/81/0000-0000/S 02.50

The expansion of the Brookhaven accelerator facilities, and the ongoing efforts to raise the AGS beam intensity, have been a driving force for the addition of new kickers and the upgrading of older ones to meet this challenge. All kicker power supply systems are running above their design specifications to provide wider operating ranges. The newly upgraded Booster fast extraction kicker power supply was commissioned in September 1997. Its compact high voltage modulator structure offers a pulse length almost three times longer than the preceding package within the confines of the same physical space. The AGS A5 injection kicker and the AGS G10 extraction kickers are also discussed. In order to expedite design, assembly, and commissioning, and to facilitate interchangeability, standardized modules have been adopted where possible. This paper gives an overview of the AGS and Booster fast injection and extraction kicker systems including their parameters, structure and status.
