Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment is expected to publish its second measurement of the muon magnetic dipole moment on August 10th. Will this measurement agree (within $2\sigma$) with the Standard Model prediction using the BMW lattice QCD based estimate of the hadronic contibutions to the muon magnetic dipole moment?

@JosephNoonan Yeah the BMW result gives a_mu =116,592,061(58) x 10^-11 and the Fermilab result is a_mu=116,592,055(24) x 10^-11 giving a difference of 1.6 sigmas. If you include the Brookhaven result it become 1.7 sigmas.
