Title: The Muon g-2 Experiment: A Precision Test of the Standard Model
Abstract: The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, aμ, is among the most precisely measured quantities in particle physics and a powerful probe of physics within and beyond the Standard Model. The Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab was motivated by a long-standing ~3.5σ discrepancy between theory and experiment and aimed to improve the experimental precision by a factor of four. In 2025, the collaboration reported its final result based on six years of data, reaching a precision of 127 parts per billion. This talk will summarize the experimental method, key systematic challenges, and the final measurement, and discuss its implications for ongoing efforts at the precision frontier.
