Almost relevant corrections for direct measurements of electron's g-factor

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-03-23 v2

Abstract

We revisit the observable used for the direct measurements of the electron's gg factor. This is done by considering the sub-leading effects of the large magnetic background field and virtual Standard Model processes. We find substantial corrections to the Landau levels of the electron. Implications for the observed magnetic moment and the tension between direct and indirect measurement are discussed.
