The muon (g-2) – New physics from an old hat?
Abstract: The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is at the frontier of modern high-precision tests of the standard model. While the electron’s anomalous magnetic moment is the most precisely measured quantity (0.13 ppt) in the entire history of physics, the theoretical and experimental determinations for the muon show a 4.2 sigma discrepancy opening a possible window into new physics. In this talk, we will review the basics about the (anomalous) magnetic moment, present BSM models that can explain the discrepancy and elaborate on how and why lattice determinations of the hadronic contributions are of crucial importance moving forward.
