The Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) has measured the muon anomalous precession frequency $ω_a$ to an uncertainty of 434 parts per billion (ppb), statistical, and 56 ppb, systematic, with data collected in four storage ring configurations during its first physics run 2018.

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is one most precisely measured quantities in experimental particle physics. Its latest measurement at Brookhaven National Laboratory deviates from Standard Model expectation by approximately 3.5 standard deviations. goal new experiment, E989, now under construction Fermilab, a fourfold improvement precision.

This paper presents the beam dynamics systematic corrections and their uncertainties for Run-1 data set of Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment. Two to measured muon precession frequency $\omega_a^m$ are associated with well-known effects owing use electrostatic quadrupole (ESQ) vertical focusing in storage ring. An average vertically oriented motional magnetic field is felt by relativistic muons passing transversely through radial electric components created ESQ system. The correction depends on...
An observation of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) would be unambiguous evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. The Mu2e and COMET experiments, under construction, are designed to push sensitivity CLFV in mu e conversion process unprecedented levels. Whether is observed or not, there a strong case made further improving sensitivity, examining on additional target materials. Mu2e-II proposed upgrade Mu2e, with at least an order magnitude rate over Mu2e. approach challenges this...
Abstract The Muon g -2 Experiment at Fermilab uses a gaseous straw tracking detector to make detailed measurements of the stored muon beam profile, which are essential for experiment achieve its uncertainty goals. Positrons from decays spiral inward and pass through before striking an electromagnetic calorimeter. is therefore located inside vacuum chamber in region where magnetic field large non-uniform. As such, must have low leak rate maintain high-quality vacuum, be non-magnetic so as not...
