The Measurement of the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Muon at Fermilab

Abstract: The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is one of the most precisely measured quantities in experimental particle physics. Its latest measurement at Brookhaven National Laboratory deviates from the Standard Model expectation by approximately 3.5 standard deviations. The goal of the new experiment, E989, now under construction at Fermilab, is a fourfold improvement in precision. Here, we discuss the details of the future measurement and its current status.

“…Since the above tension may be an exciting indication of new physics (NP) beyond the SM, an intense research program is currently underway in order to achieve a significant improvement of the uncertainties. The forthcoming g − 2 experiments at Fermilab (E989) [6] and J-PARC (E34) [7] aim at reducing the experimental uncertainty by a factor of four, down to 0.14 ppm, making the comparison of the experimental value a exp µ with the theoretical prediction a SM µ one of the most stringent tests of the SM in the quest of NP effects. On the theoretical side, the main uncertainty on a SM µ comes from hadronic contributions, related to the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) and light-by-light terms [3,8].…”

“…Since this tension might be an exciting indication of New Physics beyond the SM, an intense research program is currently underway in order to achieve a significant reduction of the experimental and theoretical uncertainties. New (g − 2) experiments at Fermilab (E989) [3] and J-PARC (E34) [4] aim at a fourfold reduction of the experimental uncertainty such that a similar reduction in the theoretical uncertainty is of timely interest. Hadronic loop contributions due to the HVP and hadronic lightby-light terms [5] give rise to the main theoretical uncertainty and, with a view to the planned experimental accuracy, they will soon become a major limitation of this SM test.…”
