First results from the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab

15 April 2021 @ 14:30 - 18:30

Aim of the meeting:

Increasingly precise measurements of the muon anomaly, a$\mu$ = (g – 2)/2 have been pursued since the 1960s, when CERN played a leading role in the determination of  with a series of pioneering experiments. Until now, the most precise measurement of a$\mu$ was carried out by the E821 Experiment at Brookhaven (USA), which resulted in a 3.7$\sigma$ discrepancy with the Standard Model prediction. This longstanding discrepancy is one of the most intriguing hints of new physics in particle physics. In order to understand this discrepancy a new Muon g-2 experiment started taking data at Fermilab in 2018. This mini-workshop is an afternoon dedicated to the presentation and discussion of the first results from the new Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab, their theoretical importance, and prospects for the measurement.
