These new results align closely with recent theoretical predictions, and will serve as a benchmark moving forward. The Standard Model of Particle Physics is a remarkable scientific achievement spanning nearly a century, and its predictive power has proven incredibly consistent. This wobble, or precession, is due to an external magnetic field is called a g-factor, and a century ago, this factor was found to be 2 (hence the name “muon g-2 experiment”). Now, with this new calculation in hand, scientists can move forward with renewed confidence in an experimental result that’s been a popular test of the Standard Model of Physics for a century. Today, this muon g-2 result is a testament of the incredible engineering and multidisciplinary scientific effort required to uncover just a little bit more about our ever-mysterious universe.
