Measurement of the anomalous muon precession frequency in the Fermilab Muon g - 2 Experiment
ORAL
Abstract
The Muon g – 2 Experiment has measured the muon magnetic anomaly to unprecedented sensitivity. Comparison of a measurement of this quantity with the theoretical prediction, which includes contributions from all known particles and forces, provides a stringent test of the Standard Model. A significant difference between experimental measurement and theoretical prediction would be a strong indication of unknown particles or forces. By measuring the precession frequency of muons in a magnetic storage ring and the highly-uniform magnetic field, the Muon g-2 Experiment achieved a precision of 0.2 parts per million. In this talk, I will describe the analysis of the precession frequency of the Run-2/3 dataset, outlining its major systematic uncertainties, and look ahead to what we can expect in the future.
