This letter of intent proposes an experiment to search for an electric dipole moment of the muon based on the frozen-spin technique. We intend to exploit the high electric field, $E=1{\rm GV/m}$, experienced in the rest frame of the muon…

The proton magnetic moment in nuclear magnetons is measured to be $\mu_p/\mu_N \equiv g/2 = 2.792\,846 \pm 0.000\,007$, a 2.5 ppm (parts per million) uncertainty. The direct determination, using a single proton in a Penning trap,…
The goal of the measurement of the magnetic moment of the electron $\mu$, is to experimentaly determine the gyromagnetic ratio. The factor $g/2$ is computed by the accurate measurement of two frequencies, the spin precession frequency…
The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab is being designed to study the coherent neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of a nucleus. This process has an extremely low probability in the Standard Model, and its…

Muons are puzzling physicists since their discovery when they were first thought to be the meson predicted by Yukawa to mediate the strong force. The recent results at Fermilab on the muon g-2 anomaly puts the muonic sector once more under…
We derive in full generality the equations that govern the time dependence of the energy ${\mathcal E}$ of the decay electrons in a muon $g-2$ experiment. We include both electromagnetic and gravitational effects and we estimate possible…

We have measured the magnetic penetration depth of the recently discovered binary superconductor MgB_2 using muon spin rotation and low field $ac$-susceptibility. From the damping of the muon precession signal we find the penetration depth…
We introduce a new search strategy for visibly decaying muonphilic particles using a proton beam spectrometer modeled after the SpinQuest experiment at Fermilab. In this setup, a ${\sim}$100 GeV primary proton beam impinges on a thick fixed…
We investigate the possibility of explanation for the muon anomalous magnetic moment $g_\mu-2$ in a left-right model with an inverse seesaw mechanism. We emphasize that the observed deviation from the Standard Model predictions can be…
In the next decade the Fermilab Muon Campus will host two world class experiments dedicated to the search for signals of new physics. The Muon g-2 experiment will determine with unprecedented precision the anomalous magnetic moment of the…
Given their 2.2 microsecond lifetime, muons must be accelerated fairly rapidly for a neutrino factory or muon collider. Muon bunches tend to be large. Progress in fixed field, alternating gradient (FFAG) lattices to meet this challenge is…
There has been a long-standing discrepancy between the experimental measurements of the electron and muon anomalous magnetic moments and their predicted values in the Standard Model. This is particularly relevant in the case of the muon…

The current status of the Standard Model prediction for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is briefly reviewed and compared with the present experimental value.
Based on the bound state description of the muon and general relativistic covariant quantum field theory, we illustrate with a simple composite model that the observed deviation of (g-2)_\mu can be a demonstration of the substructure of the…
