Description
The Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory set out to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_{\mu}$, with a target precision of 140 parts-per-billion (ppb), representing a four-fold improvement over the predecessor measurement at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the 2000s. The Muon g-2 collaboration recently published the analysis of the final three of a total of six years of data taking, achieving a combined precision of 127 ppb, surpassing its design goal. This new result will remain a benchmark test for any future extension of the Standard Model for years to come. This talk will provide a brief history and overview of the experiment, details of the latest analysis, and the final result on $a_{\mu}$.
