Abstract

The E-989 experiment planned at Fermi National Laboratory in Batavia, IL, USA, has a goal to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (aμ) to 0.14 ppm. This will be a fourfold improvement over the previous measurement of aexp μ = 116 592 089 (63) × 10−11 (0.54 ppm) made at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 2001. This measurement compared to the current theoretical results differ by more than 3σ. It is imperative that we reduce the errors on both the experimental measurement and the theoretical value to better understand this difference. This paper covers the Brookhaven experiment as well as the upgrades that are planned for the Fermilab experiment.
