Abstract

The long-standing discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction and the experimental measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment provides a tantalizing hint of new physics. The Standard Model prediction was significantly improved and various extensions were proposed to explain the discrepancy. A key ingredient to the comparison remains an independent and more precise measurement. The Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment aims to improve the experimental precision by a factor of four and has started physics data taking since 2018. In this seminar, I will present the highly anticipated first result that pushes the measurement into unprecedented precision, and report on the current status of the experiment.
