First Results from the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment

Dr. Chris Polly, Fermilab (co-spokesperson, Muon g-2 collaboration)


The Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab has recently released its first result, reporting a 460 parts-per-billion (ppb) measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the positive muon. This result is in agreement with previous measurement from Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), where a 3 standard deviation disagreement with the standard model prediction was uncovered nearly two decades ago.  The combined Fermilab and BNL result increases the tension with the Standard Model. This talk will describe the theoretical status, the details of the Fermilab experiment, the first experimental results, and prospects for future improvements in precision.
