Detailed Report on the Measurement of the Positive Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment to 0.20 ppm

Published 23 Feb 2024 in hep-ex, hep-ph, and nucl-ex | (2402.15410v3)

Abstract: We present details on a new measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly, $a_\mu = (g_\mu -2)/2$. The result is based on positive muon data taken at Fermilab's Muon Campus during the 2019 and 2020 accelerator runs. The measurement uses $3.1$ GeV$/c$ polarized muons stored in a $7.1$-m-radius storage ring with a $1.45$ T uniform magnetic field. The value of $ a_{\mu}$ is determined from the measured difference between the muon spin precession frequency and its cyclotron frequency. This difference is normalized to the strength of the magnetic field, measured using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The ratio is then corrected for small contributions from beam motion, beam dispersion, and transient magnetic fields. We measure $a_\mu = 116 592 057 (25) \times 10{-11}$ (0.21 ppm). This is the world's most precise measurement of this quantity and represents a factor of $2.2$ improvement over our previous result based on the 2018 dataset. In combination, the two datasets yield $a_\mu(\text{FNAL}) = 116 592 055 (24) \times 10{-11}$ (0.20 ppm). Combining this with the measurements from Brookhaven National Laboratory for both positive and negative muons, the new world average is $a_\mu$(exp) $ = 116 592 059 (22) \times 10{-11}$ (0.19 ppm).

  33. An exception to the policy of adding systematics linearly within a systematics category is the CBO frequency drift and CBO decoherence envelope systematics. A dedicated study showed that the two systematic uncertainties are independent and therefore add in quadrature.
  34. A negative muon loss parameter would imply a gain of stored muons and therefore is considered nonphysical.
