Muon g-2
Ernst Sichtermann, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
The magnetic moments and g-values of particles have played important roles in the development of modern physics.The Muon g-2 Collaboration has measured the anomalous magnetic moment of the positive muon to a relative uncertainty of 0.7 parts per million. At this level of uncertainty the measurement is sensitive to all Standard Model interactions and places stringent constraints on speculative extensions.
I will describe the experiment, will present a new result for the negative muon, and will discuss prospects for the future.
