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?

Sort by:

They didn't specifically state the difference from lattice QCD in the paper (they mentioned the BMW calculation but didn't give any numbers), but based on what I can find online about the BMW result, I think the new results fall within 2 sigmas.

@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.

By 2030, will the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab find signals of physics beyond the Standard Model?

27% chance

Will charged lepton flavor violation via muon to electron conversion be observed by 2030?
