We consider a long range scalar force that mainly couples to dark matter and unstable Standard Model states, like the muon, with tiny strength. Probing this type of force would present a challenge to observations. We point out that the…
The discrepancy between the muon $g-2$ measurement and the Standard Model prediction points to new physics around or below the weak scale. It is tantalizing to consider the loop effects of a heavy axion (in the general sense, also known as…
We examine the prospects for discovering new physics through muon dipole moments. The current deviation in $g_{\mu}-2$ may be due entirely to the muon's {\em electric} dipole moment. We note that the precession frequency in the proposed BNL…
The electromagnetic interactions of electrons and muons can be described to very high accuracy within the framework of standard theory, in particular within the hydrogen-like muonium atom. Therefore precision measurements allow to test…

We consider L-violating Supersymmetric Models to explain the recent muon $g_{\mu} -2$ deviation from the Standard Model. The order of trilinear L-violating couplings which we require also generate neutrino mass which is somewhat higher than…

We present a detailed analysis on the possible maximal value of the muon (g-2) (= 2 a_mu) within the context of effective SUSY models with R parity conservation. First of all, the mixing among the second and the third family sleptons can…
A new measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_{\mu} \equiv (g-2)/2$, will be performed at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory with data taking beginning in 2017. The most recent measurement, performed at…
The E821 experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory is designed to measure the muon magnetic anomaly, a_mu, to an ultimate precision of 0.4 parts per million (ppm). Because theory can predict a_mu to 0.6 ppm, and ongoing efforts aim to…
In a storage ring of discrete magnets with uniform field and edge focusing, the field averaged over the orbit can be independent of orbit radius (particle momentum). This ring is suitable for measuring the anomalous magnetic moment of the…
The muon (g-2) experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory has measured the anomalous magnetic moment of the positive muon with a precision of 0.7 ppm. This paper presents that result, concentrating on some of the important experimental…
Hitherto unknown elementary particles can be searched for with atomic spectroscopy. We conduct such a search using a potential that results from the longitudinal polarization of a pseudovector particle. We show that such a potential,…
We investigate a fifth force mediated by a light vector boson that couples to lepton spins, characterized by axial-vector couplings to leptons and vector couplings to nucleons. This interaction generates a potential proportional to the…
We measured the spin asymmetry in the scattering of 100 GeV longitudinally-polarized muons on transversely polarized protons. The asymmetry was found to be compatible with zero in the kinematic range $0.006<x<0.6$,…
Very recently, the Muon $g-2$ experiment at Fermilab has confirmed the E821 Brookhaven result, which hinted at a deviation of the muon anomalous magnetic moment from the Standard Model (SM) expectation. The combined results from Brookhaven…

We analyze the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (a_{\mu}) in supersymmetric scenarios. First we concentrate on scenarios with universal soft terms. We find that a moderate increase of a_{\mu} can be obtained by lowering the unification…
Spin noise sets fundamental limits to the precision of measurements using spin-polarized atomic vapors, such as performed with sensitive atomic magnetometers. Spin squeezing offers the possibility to extend the measurement precision beyond…
