The Upcoming Muon g-2 Results

There's another experiment about to release data on a very similar type of experiment. Fermilab's muon g-2 experiment should publish their final result on the measurement of the muon's magnetic moment next month. The magnetic moment - the dipole magnetic field generated by the particle - is also corrected by quantum mechanics. Those corrections are very well understood theoretically, and experimentally those corrections were measured at Brookhaven National Lab. The result? Something akin to 3-sigma deviation from the standard model. Exactly the same situation a the LHCb finding.

Physicist in Chicago were so excited to continue the experiment, the barged the apparatus from Long Island, up the Mississippi and over the Fermilab so they could attempt to answer the question once and for all. We've been waiting for years. Here's still hoping for an exciting result.
