Twenty years ago in an experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory, physicists measured the muon's
anomalous magnetic moment, , with a remarkable precision of 0.54 parts per million.
Since then, the standard model prediction for has exhibited a discrepancy with experiment of over 3
standard deviations, raising the tantalising possibility of physical particles or forces as yet...
The Fermilab muon g-2 experiment has recently confirmed the previous Brookhaven measurement, and both are in apparent tension with calculations within the Standard Model. After reviewing the history of theoretical calculations and experimental measurements of the muon g-2, I will discuss possible interpretations of this tension, including alternative Standard Model calculations as well as...
