Title: MUON G-2 AND EDM IN THE POST FNAL ERA
Abstract: The FNAL muon g-2 experiment has measured the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon with an unprecedented precision of 127 ppb. In parallel, significant theoretical efforts are underway to predict the Standard Model (SM) value of muon g-2 with comparable precision. A new experiment aiming to simultaneously measure the muon g-2 and electric dipole moment (EDM), using the world's first muon LINAC, and a compact storage magnet is being prepared at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The J-PARC experiment will provide an independent determination of muon g-2 with largely different systematics and will search for the muon EDM with a sensitivity 70 times greater than the current limit. This seminar will present the current status of the experiment and the prospects for achieving a precision surpassing that of the FNAL measurement.
