Event details
In 2023, the Fermilab muon g-2 experiment published an updated measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment with a precision of 0.20 ppm (Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 161802). This result, which uses data from Run-2 (2019) and Run-3 (2020) is a factor of two more precise than the previous result with the Run-1 (2018) data, published in 2021. As well as the improved statistical precision, upgrades to the experiment between Run-1 and Run-2 enabled a substantial reduction in the leading systematic uncertainties. The g-2 experiment completed data-taking last year, and analysis is underway for the full dataset with data taken between 2021 and 2023. I will present the details of the recent measurement, the current status of the Standard Model predictions, and the prospects and goals for the final analysis of the full dataset.
