Muon g − 2 : a mini review
نویسنده
چکیده
The current status of the experimental measurements and theoretical predictions of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμ is briefly reviewed. The emphasis is put on the evaluation of the hadronic contribution to aμ as it has the largest uncertainty among all Standard Model contributions. The precision of the hadronic contribution is driven by the input e+e− data predominantly from the π+π− channel. Including the latest experimental data on e+e− annihilation into hadrons from CMD2 and SND for the π+π− channel and BaBar for multihadron final states, the updated Standard Model prediction disagrees with the measurement dominated by BNL by 3.3 standard deviations, with the theoretical precision exceeding the experimental one.

The muon (g - 2) anomaly and a new light vector boson
This mini review aims to outline the main experimental and theoretical results related with the search for a new light vector boson proposed as a solution of the muon g− 2 anomaly. Additionally, I consider a model with infinite number of light vector bosons which can explain the anomaly, while still remaining consistent with current experimental bounds. 1 ar X iv :1 70 2. 04 59 6v 1 [ he pph ] ...

The MuCap experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute has measured the rate Λ(S) of muon capture from the singlet state of the muonic hydrogen atom to a precision of 1%. A muon beam was stopped in a time projection chamber filled with 10-bar, ultrapure hydrogen gas. Cylindrical wire chambers and a segmented scintillator barrel detected electrons from muon decay. Λ(S) is determined from the differ...

A review of the experimental and theoretical determinations of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is given. The anomaly is defined by a = (g−2)/2, where the Landé g-factor is the proportionality constant that relates the spin to the magnetic moment. For the muon, as well as for the electron and tauon, the anomaly a differs slightly from zero (of order 10) because of radiative corrections...
