The Fermilab muon g-2 experiment will measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment aμ to 140 ppb – a four-fold improvement over the earlier Brookhaven experiment. The measurement of aμ is well known as a unique test of the standard model with broad sensitivity to new interactions, particles and phenomena. The goal of 140 ppb is commensurate with ongoing improvements in the SM prediction of the anomalous moment and addresses the longstanding 3.5σ discrepancy between the BNL result and the SM prediction. In this article I discuss the physics motivation and experimental technique for measuring aμ, and the current status and the future work for the project.

The aim of the Muon g-2g−2 Experiment at Fermilab (E989) is to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment (a_\muaμ) with a relative precision of 140 parts-per-billion (ppb). This precision, which is a factor of four improvement from the current experimental result, will allow for a much more stringent test of the Standard Model. This paper present the current status of the experimental measurement of a_\muaμ after the first physics run.

I explain the theoretical connection between lepton flavor violation and muon g - 2 in supersymmetry1. Given any central value deviation of muon g - 2 from the standard model that is assumed to be due to weak scale supersymmetry, I show that stringent bounds on lepton flavor violating scalar masses can be extracted. These bounds are essentially independent of supersymmetric parameter space. I then briefly compare this indirect handle on supersymmetric lepton flavor violation with direct observation at a future lepton collider operating in the e- e- mode. This is a summary of a talk given at e- e-01: 4th International Workshop on Electron-Electron Interactions at TeV Energies.

Vacuum Polarisation

We calculate the Standard Model (SM) prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment. By using the latest experimental data for e+e- → hadrons as input to dispersive integrals, we obtain the values of the leading order (LO) and the next-to-leading-order (NLO) hadronic vacuum polarisation contributions as ahad, LO VPμ = (693:27 ± 2:46) × 10-10 and ahad, NLO VP μ = (_9.82 ± 0:04) × 1010-10, respectively. When combined with other contributions to the SM prediction, we obtain aμ(SM) = (11659182:05 ± 3.56) × 10-10; which is deviated from the experimental value by Δaμ(exp) _ aμ(SM) = (27.05 ± 7.26) × 10-10. This means that there is a 3.7 σ discrepancy between the experimental value and the SM prediction. We also discuss another closely related quantity, the running QED coupling at the Z-pole, α(M2 Z). By using the same e+e- → hadrons data as input, our result for the 5-flavour quark contribution to the running QED coupling at the Z pole is Δ(5)had(M2 Z) = (276.11 ± 1.11) × 10-4, from which we obtain Δ(M2 Z) = 128.946 ± 0.015.

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon can be both measured and computed to a very high precision, making it a powerful probe to test the Standard Model and search for new physics. The previous measurement by the Brookhaven E821 experiment found a discrepancy from the SM predicted value of about three standard deviations. The Muon g–2 experiment at Fermilab will improve the precision to 140 parts per billion compared to 540 parts per billion of E821 by increasing statistics and using upgraded apparatus. The first run of data taking has been accomplished in Fermilab, where the same level of statistics as E821 has already been attained. This paper, summarizes the current experimental status and briefly describes the data quality of the first run. It compares the statistics of this run with E821 and discusses the future outlook.

While the LHC has not directly observed any new particle so far, experimental results from LHCb, BELLE and BABAR point towards the violation of lepton flavour universality in b ⟶ sℓ+ and b ⟶ c-ℓν. In this context, also the discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon can be interpreted as a sign of lepton flavour universality violation. Here we discuss how these hints for new physics can also be explained by introducing leptoquarks as an extension of the Standard Model. Indeed, leptoquarks are good candidates to explain the anomaly in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon because of an mg/mμ enhanced contribution giving correlated effects in Z boson decays which is particularly interesting in the light of future precision experiments.
