The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab

Abstract

The upcoming Fermilab E989 experiment will measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_{\mu }$ . This measurement is motivated by the previous measurement performed in 2001 by the BNL E821 experiment that reported a 3-4 standard deviation discrepancy between the measured value and the Standard Model prediction. The new measurement at Fermilab aims to improve the precision by a factor of four reducing the total uncertainty from 540 parts per billion (BNL E821) to 140 parts per billion (Fermilab E989). This paper gives the status of the experiment.
