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...
We review the present status of Standard Model calculation anomalous magnetic moment muon. This is performed in a perturbative expansion fine-structure constant $\alpha$ and broken down into pure QED, electroweak, hadronic contributions. The QED contribution by far largest has been evaluated up to including $\mathcal{O}(\alpha^5)$ with negligible numerical uncertainty. electroweak suppressed $(m_\mu/M_W)^2$ only shows at level seventh significant digit. It two loops known better than one...
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).
A precise measurement of the anomalous g value, a(mu) = (g-2)/2, for positive muon has been made at Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. The result a(mu+) 11 659 202(14) (6) x 10(-10) (1.3 ppm) is in good agreement with previous measurements and an error one third that combined data. current theoretical value from standard model a(mu)(SM) 159.6(6.7) (0.57 a(mu)(exp) - 43(16) which world average experimental value.
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.

Hypernuclear lifetime and partial decay-rate measurements made at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternating Gradient Synchrotron are reported for $_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}^{5}\mathrm{He}$ $_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}^{12}\mathrm{C}$. The mesonic nonmesonic decays compared to existing weak-interaction calculations. In particular, reaction \ensuremath{\Lambda}N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}NN is discussed as an example of a nonleptonic weak process which calculations have been...

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.

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; $(m_{\mu}d_{Z0}+H_{XY}) = (1.8 6.0 \times 10^{-23})$...
