We present the final report from a series of precision measurements muon anomalous magnetic moment, ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}=(g\ensuremath{-}2)/2$.

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.

Radioactive isotopes produced through cosmic muon spallation are a background for rare-event detection in $\nu$ detectors, double-$\beta$-decay experiments, and dark-matter searches. Understanding the nature of cosmogenic backgrounds is particularly important future experiments aiming to determine pep CNO solar neutrino fluxes, which dominated by production $^{11}$C.

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