Abstract:
On April 7th 2021, Fermilab's Muon g - 2 experiment announced it's rst results of the precision measurement of the anomalous muon magnetic moment based on it's 2018 Run-1 dataset. These results align with the Brookhaven National Laboratory experimental value and the combined values increases the tension between experiment and theory from 3.7 to 4.2 sigma. This talk will give an overview of the Fermilab Muon g - 2 experiment, discuss the steps necessary to precisely measure wobbling muons, why this result has the physics community abuzz, and what's next.
