The recent measurement of the muon $g - 2$ anomaly continues to defy a Standard Model explanation, but can be accommodated within the framework of two Higgs doublet models. If one further includes extra fermion content in the form of a…
The statistical significance that characterizes a discrepancy between a measurement and theoretical prediction is usually calculated assuming that the statistical and systematic uncertainties are known. Many types of systematic…
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…
I discuss the history of the muon $(g-2)$ measurements, beginning with the Columbia-Nevis measurement that observed parity violation in muon decay, and also measured the muon $g$-factor for the first time, finding $g_\mu=2$. The theoretical…
The persistent $a_\mu \equiv (g-2)/2$ anomaly in the muon sector could be due to new physics visible in the electron sector through a sub-ppb measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron $a_e$. Driven by recent results on…
We explore a model of dark matter (DM) that can explain the reported discrepancy in the muon anomalous magnetic moment and predict a large electric dipole moment (EDM) of the muon. The model contains a DM fermion and new scalars whose…
In this letter, we address the question of whether the almost four standard deviations difference between theory and experiment for the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_\mu$ can be explained as a higher-order Standard Model perturbation…
Light scalars can in principle couple to both bulk matter and fermion spin, with hierarchically disparate strengths. Storage ring measurements of fermion electromagnetic moments via spin precession can be sensitive to such a force, sourced…
The recent developments in theory and experiment related to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon are applied to supersymmetry. We follow a very cautious course, demanding that the supersymmetric contributions fit within five standard…
Soon, new experiments at FNAL and J-PARC will measure the muon anomalous magnetic moments with better accuracy than before. From theoretical side, the uncertainty of the standard model prediction is dominated by the hadronic contributions.…
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…
The Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) has measured the muon anomalous precession frequency $\omega_a$ to an uncertainty of 434 parts per billion (ppb), statistical, and 56 ppb, systematic, with data…
A new experiment to measure the muon g-2 factor is proposed. We suppose the sensitivity of this experiment to be about 0.03 ppm. The developed experiment can be performed on an ordinary storage ring with a noncontinuous field created by…
The long-standing muon $g-2$ anomaly has been confirmed recently at the Fermilab. The combined discrepancy from Fermilab and Brookhaven results shows a difference from the theory at a significance of 4.2 $\sigma$. In addition, the LHC has…
Recently, we have witnessed two hints of physics beyond the standard model: A 3.3$\sigma$ local excess ($M_{A_0} = 52$ GeV) in the search for $H_0\to A_0 A_0\to b\bar{b}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ and a 4.2$\sigma$ deviation from the SM prediction in…
The Muon $g-2$ experiment, E989, is currently taking data at Fermilab with the aim of reducing the experimental error on the muon anomaly by a factor of four and possibly clarifying the current discrepancy with the theoretical prediction. A…
Muon electron scattering experiments such as the proposed MUonE experiment, offer an opportunity for an improved measurement of the Leading Order hadronic running of $\alpha$, denoted $\Delta \alpha_{\rm{had}}$. Such a measurement could be…
The effect of the recently observed 2.6 sigma deviation of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (a_mu = (g_mu -2)/2) from its Standard Model prediction is examined within the framework of supergravity models with grand unification and R…
The long-standing muon g-2 anomaly can be explained by heavy new physics particles through chirally enhanced contributions. It has been recently proposed that a muon collider running at center-of-mass energies of several TeV could test…
