Improved measurement of the positive muon anomalous magnetic moment

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

A new measurement of the positive muon's anomalous magnetic moment has been made at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron using the direct injection of polarized muons into the superferric storage ring. The angular frequency difference omega (a) between the angular spin precession frequency omega (s) and the angular orbital frequency omega (c) is measured as well as the free proton MMR frequency omega (p). These determine R = omega (a)/omega (p) = 3.707 201(19) x 10(-3). With mu (mu)/mu (p) = 3.183 345 39(10) this gives a(mu+) = 11 659 191(59) x 10-(10) (+/-5 ppm), in good agreement with the previous CERN and BNL measurements for mu (+) and mu (-), and with the standard model prediction.
