A new measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of muon at Fermilab.

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, one of the most precisely measured quantities in
experimental particle physics, allows for a sensitive test of the Standard Model. The most precise
measurement of π‘Žπœ‡ has been done at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the result deviates
from the SM expectation by 3-4 standard deviations. A new experiment E989 at Fermilab, now
under construction, aims for 4-fold improvement in measurement precision to reach the relative
experimental uncertainty of π‘Žπœ‡ of 140 ppb. The design of experiment follows the concept of the
muon storage ring at β€œmagic” momentum, invented at CERN-III experiment and improved at
BNL. This concept is further developed at Fermilab in nearly all aspects including the muon
beam preparation, detectors hardware and electronics, magnet shimming and field measurement.
The experiment is now being assembled and the first beam is expected to reach the ring in 2017.
I’ll discuss the main design features of the experiment and the current status.
