    First Results from the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab — Muons Leading the Way

    The first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab will be presented in this talk. The latest result from the Fermilab confirms the discrepancy between the theoretical prediction and the experimental measurement earlier reported by the Brookhaven experiment. The aim of the Fermilab experiment is to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, aμ = (g-2)/2, to a groundbreaking precision of 140 ppb, obtaining a near four-fold increase in precision over BNL. This is an incredibly challenging experiment with a unique opportunity to provide new insight into nature. An overview of this ultra-high precision measurement will be discussed in this talk.
