Abstract

A review of the theoretical and experimental values for the charged lepton (electron and muon) anomalous magnetic moment al=(gl2)/2a_l= (g_l-2)/2 is presented. Employing the most accurate value for the fine structure constant α1=137.03599993(52)(0.0038ppm)\alpha^{-1}= 137.03599993(52) (0.0038 ppm) obtained \cite {Kin196} from the electron (g2)(g-2) we find the new complete standard model prediction for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμth=116591595(67)×1011a^{th}_{\mu}= 116591595(67)\times 10^{-11}. The comparison of this theoretical value and the precise experimental result \cite {Sch} yields the estimation for the difference Δaμ=aμexpaμth\Delta a_{\mu}= a^{exp}_{\mu}- a^{th}_{\mu} at the 95% confidence level: 95×1010Δaμ236×1010-95 \times 10^{-10} \leq \Delta a_{\mu}\leq 236 \times 10^{-10}. The implication of the expected a factor of about 20 increase of accuracy in the forthcoming Brookhaven National Laboratory measurement of aμa_{\mu} implies 47×1011Δaμ118×1011-47 \times 10^{-11} \leq \Delta a_{\mu}\leq 118 \times 10^{-11}, (9595 % C.L.). This interval is used to get constraints on the "new physics". The value of the one-loop contributions alBia^{B_i}_l of different bosons predicted within extension of the standard model and coupled to a charged lepton are discussed. The dependence of alBia^{B_i}_l on the masses of the bosons and leptons of the vacuum polarization loops are investigated. The constraints on "new physics" by requiring that the new contributions aμBia^{B_i}_{\mu} to the muon anomalous magnetic moment lie within the latter interval Δaμ\Delta a_{\mu} are obtained.
