“Particle mystery deepens, as physicists confirm that the muon is more magnetic than predicted.”
Muons twirl as they circulate in this ring-shaped accelerator at Fermilab, like race cars perpetually spinning out.

The standard model is incomplete.
• origin of neutrino masses• neutrino oscillations change flavor
• what is dark matter?• ordinary matter is only 5% of observed universe
• matter/anti-matter asymmetry• why did anti-matter disappear? other CP violation?
• universe expansion is accelerating• dark energy?
• gravity not in standard model• grand unification of all forces?

Elements of the g-2 experiment
1. Polarized muons
pion decay produces polarized muons
2. Precession gives (g-2)
in a storage ring the spin precesses relative to the momentum at a rate proportional (g-2)
3. Parity violation
positron energy indicates the direction of the muon spin
4. Pm The magic momentum
at one special momentum, the precession is independent of the electric focusing fields
![Page 32: The Muon g-2 Experiment](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61ff057152e5e50fd33a529f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Muons in the storage ring must be confined by focusing elements. Following the third CERN g-2 experiment, electrostatic focusing is used. Motional magnetic field is seen by circulating muons which would precess the spin, except at the “magic momentum” of 3.094 GeV/c

making the muon beam
• Fermilab accelerator chain gets protons into Recycler ring
• Extracted bunches hit nickel-based target
• Left mainly with protons, pions, and muons
• Particles enter Delivery Ring
• Protons get removed from the beam
• Pions decay into muons
• Muons enter Muon g-2 ring through M5 line
![Page 38: The Muon g-2 Experiment](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61ff057152e5e50fd33a529f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

muon injection into storage ring
• Weak decay of pions produces highly polarized muon beam• Muon spins aligned to momenta
• Inflector is the entryway• Superconducting magnet
• Cryogenically cooled
• Cancels ring’s 1.45T fieldin 18 × 56 𝑚𝑚2 window
• Muons displaced 77 mmfrom closed orbit radius
![Page 40: The Muon g-2 Experiment](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61ff057152e5e50fd33a529f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

muons need a kick
• 77-mm displacement presents challenge!• Without action, not much physics is happening
• Three non-ferric kickers nudge beam onto closed orbit trajectory• Pulsed current drives perturbation
• No magnetic material as ferric items wouldinterfere with main measurement
• System requirements drove R&D for Fermilab
• Big difference between systems at BNL andFermilab

20210.46 ppm
FNAL final same value as FNAL run1, error smaller.SM value and error as of 2021.
20240.14 ppm
20210.37 ppm
20240.13 ppm

• Collecting even more data• Run-1 ~ 6% of the final dataset
• Run-2 + Run-3 + Run-4 ~ 10 times the Run-1 dataset
• Run-5 ~ achieve project goal !
g-2 experiment continues
100 ppb statistical goal!

Muon g-2 Experiment at JPARCcompletely different from CERN/BNL/FNAL method

450 ppb measurement with a two year run

Is Muon g-2 Alone in a Standard Model Deviation?No – Some Examples
• B meson to D meson decay branching ratios >3 σ at LHC
• B meson to K meson decay branching ratios 2-3 σ at LHC
• Lepton flavor universality violation 3 σ at LHC
• K meson to neutral pi decay branching ratio >4 σ at JPARC
• CKM matrix unitarity violation 2-3 σ
• neutrino oscillation MiniBooNE at FNAL
The Standard Model is incomplete.Theory and experiment continue to search beyond.

Thank you!
g-2 experiment is just one piece of the puzzle.
