Description

The study of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, Muon g-2, stands as an enduring and stringent test of the Standard Model (SM), where the current 3.5 standard deviations (or higher) discrepancy between the theoretical prediction and the experimental measurement could be an indication of new physics beyond the SM. The E989 Muon g?2 experiment at Fermilab aims to measure the muon anomaly to an unprecedented precision of 140 parts-per-billion, with an aim to either resolve or confirm this discrepancy. In this talk, I will discuss the current status of the analysis of Run-1 data taken during the spring of 2018 and give an update on overall progress as we enter a new data-taking period.
