Title:The Muon $g-2$ experiment at Fermilab

Abstract:The current $\sim3.5\sigma$ discrepancy between the experimental measurement and theoretical prediction of the muon magnetic anomaly, $a_{\mu}$, stands as a potential indication of the existence of new physics. The Muon $g-2$ experiment at Fermilab is set to measure $a_{\mu}$ with a four-fold improvement in the uncertainty with respect to previous experiment, with an aim to determine whether the $g-2$ discrepancy is well established. The experiment recently completed its first physics run and a summer programme of essential upgrades, before continuing on with its experimental programme. The Run-1 data alone are expected to yield a statistical uncertainty of 350 ppb and the publication of the first result is expected in late-2019.
