Measurement of the negative muon anomalous magnetic moment to 0.7 ppm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The anomalous magnetic moment of the negative muon has been measured to a precision of 0.7 ppm (ppm) at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. This result is based on data collected in 2001, and is over an order of magnitude more precise than the previous measurement for the negative muon. The result a(mu(-))=11 659 214(8)(3) x 10(-10) (0.7 ppm), where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic, is consistent with previous measurements of the anomaly for the positive and the negative muon. The average of the measurements of the muon anomaly is a(mu)(exp)=11 659 208(6) x 10(-10) (0.5 ppm).

The Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment and the Standard Model
The muon anomalous magnetic moment measurement, when compared with theory, can be used to test many extensions to the standard model. The most recent measurement made by the Brookhaven E821 Collaboration reduces the uncertainty on the world average of aμ to 0.7 ppm, comparable in precision to theory. This paper describes the experiment and the current theoretical efforts to establish a correct ...
متن کاملA New Precise Measurement of the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment
The muon (g − 2) experiment at BNL has completed four data runs for the positive muon, beginning in 1997 and has just finished its first run for the negative muon. Recently the analysis of a 1.3 ppm result based on the 1999 run was completed and published (aμ+ = 11 659 202(14)(6) × 10). The result shows a tantalizing discrepancy with the Standard Model prediction of 2.6 times the combined exper...

Over many years, the muon has provided important input to the standard model: the value of the weak coupling constant GF , strong proof of the V −A nature of the weak interaction, information on the induced weak pseudoscalar form factor gp, strong contraints on new physics from its anomalous magnetic moment, and sensitive limits on the presence of new physics which would cause lepton flavor vio...
متن کاملMeasurement of the positive muon anomalous magnetic moment to 0.7 ppm.
A higher precision measurement of the anomalous g value, a(mu)=(g-2)/2, for the positive muon has been made at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, based on data collected in the year 2000. The result a(mu(+))=11 659 204(7)(5)x10(-10) (0.7 ppm) is in good agreement with previous measurements and has an error about one-half that of the combined previous data. The present world averag...
متن کاملMuon anomalous magnetic moment and leptoquark solutions
The recent measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment am shows a 2.6s deviation from the standard model value. We show that it puts an interesting bound on the mass of the second generation leptoquarks. To account for the data the leptoquark must have both leftand right-handed couplings to the muon. Assuming that the couplings have electromagnetic strength, the mass is restricted in the ...
