We present the final report from a series of precision measurements muon anomalous magnetic moment, ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}=(g\ensuremath{-}2)/2$. The details experimental method, apparatus, data taking, and analysis are summarized. Data obtained at Brookhaven National Laboratory, using nearly equal samples positive negative muons, were used to deduce ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}(\mathrm{\text{Expt}})=11659208.0(5.4)(3.3)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}10}$, where...

The anomalous magnetic moment of the negative muon has been measured to a precision 0.7 ppm (ppm) at Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. This result is based on data collected in 2001, and over an order magnitude more precise than previous measurement for muon. a(mu(-))=11 659 214(8)(3) x 10(-10) (0.7 ppm), where first uncertainty statistical second systematic, consistent with measurements anomaly positive average a(mu)(exp)=11 208(6) (0.5 ppm).

Three independent searches for an electric dipole moment (EDM) of the positive and negative muons have been performed, using spin precession data from muon g-2 storage ring at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Details on experimental apparatus three analyses are presented. Since individual results muon, as well combined result, d=-0.1(0.9)E-19 e-cm, all consistent with zero, we set a new EDM limit, |d| < 1.9E-19 e-cm (95% C.L.). This represents factor 5 improvement over previous best limit EDM.

The muon anomalous magnetic moment has been measured in a new experiment at Brookhaven. Polarized muons were stored superferric ring, and the angular frequency difference, ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{a}$, between spin precession orbital frequencies was determined by measuring time distribution of high-energy decay positrons. ratio $R$ ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{a}$ to Larmor free protons, ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{p}$, storage-ring field measured. We find...

The spin precession frequency of muons stored in the $(g-2)$ storage ring has been analyzed for evidence Lorentz and CPT violation. Two violation signatures were searched for: a nonzero $\Delta\omega_{a}$ (=$\omega_{a}^{\mu^{+}}-\omega_{a}^{\mu^{-}}$); sidereal variation $\omega_{a}^{\mu^{\pm}}$. No significant effect is found, following limits on standard-model extension parameters are obtained: $b_{Z} =-(1.0 \pm 1.1)\times 10^{-23}$ GeV; $(m_{\mu}d_{Z0}+H_{XY}) = (1.8 6.0 \times 10^{-23})$...

A new measurement of the positive muon's anomalous magnetic moment has been made at Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron using direct injection polarized muons into superferric storage ring. The angular frequency difference ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{a}$ between spin precession ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{s}$ and orbital ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{c}$ is measured as well free proton NMR ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{p}.$ These determine...

This paper summarizes the low-loss design for Spallation Neutron Source accumulator ring [``Spallation Design Manual'' (unpublished)]. A hybrid lattice consisting of FODO arcs and doublet straights provides optimum matching flexibility injection collimation. For this lattice, optimization focuses on six goals: a space-charge tune shift low enough (below 0.15) to avoid strong resonances, adequate transverse momentum acceptance efficient beam collimation, optimized desired target shape minimal...

In polarized proton collision experiments, it is highly advantageous to flip the spin of each bunch protons during stores reduce systematic errors. Experiments done at energies less than 2 GeV have demonstrated a spin-flip efficiency over 99%. At high energy colliders with Siberian snakes, single magnet flipper does not work because large tune spread and generation multiple, overlapping resonances. A more sophisticated flipper, constructed nine-dipole magnets, was used in BNL Relativistic...
