The latest measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a^{}_{\mu} \equiv (g^{}_\mu - 2)/2$ at the Fermi Laboratory has found a $4.2\,\sigma$ discrepancy with the theoretical prediction of the Standard Model (SM). Motivated by this…
Spin physics had its beginnings in the famous experiments of Stern and Gerlach, which eventually resulted in the postulation of spin by Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck. The Stern-Gerlach experiment told us that the $g$-value of the electron was 2,…
An experiment is proposed for a record-breaking measurement of the world Fermi constant during the decay of a positive muon. Using the GEANT programs, an analysis of all systematic errors was performed. It is shown that the experimental…
The anomalous magnetic moments of leptons represent excellent probes of the Standard Model and therefore also of possible new physics effects. In particular, the persisting hint of new physics in the muon $g$-2 motivates the investigation…

We calculate the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the minimal Randall-Sundrum model with standard model fields in five-dimensional (5D) warped space and a brane-localized Higgs. We use a fully 5D framework to compute the one-loop…
The recent Fermilab measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment yields $4.2 \sigma$ deviations from the SM prediction when combined with the BNL E821 experiment results. In the Type-X two Higgs doublet model, we study the consequence…
We consider possible beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) effects that can accommodate both the long-standing tension in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_\mu=(g-2)_\mu/2$, as well as the emerging $2.5\sigma$ deviation in its…
The disagreement between the standard model prediction and the experimental measurement of muon anomalous magnetic moment can be alleviated by invoking an additional particle which is either a vector boson ($X_1$) or a scalar ($X_0$). This…
The muon has played a central role in establishing the Standard Model of particle physics, and continues to provide valuable information about the nature of new physics. A new complex at Fermilab, the Advanced Muon Facility, would provide…
The electric field corrections to the recently measured muon magnetic moment g-2 anomaly are considered from both the classical (BMT) and the quantum mechanical (Dirac) viewpoints. In both views, we prove that the electric field inducing…
