Dark Matter search in the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab

ORAL

Abstract

Dark Matter (DM) remains one of the most compelling research areas in physics, with many particle physicists working to uncover its nature as a key component of the fundamental description of the universe. The Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab precisely measures the anomalous precession frequency of the muon, and oscillations in this frequency could potentially be induced by DM interactions with muons. This presentation will discuss how DM signals can be extracted from the Muon g-2 data. It will highlight the analysis strategies across the DM mass range, focusing on sensitivity determination and addressing the impact of systematics on the results. Finally, I will present updated laboratory limits on the DM-muon coupling constant within selected DM model-dependent scenarios.
