The Anomalous Magnetic Moment of Muon

Abstract

Abstract Known as one of the most hopeful fields to find new physics beyond the standard model, the anomalous magnetic moment of muon has gained much attention for a long time and become even more important after the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s result came out in 2018. This paper shows the general works and achievements in this exciting field. Those include experiments operated by the Brookhaven National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory to measure the g-2 factor, the calculation based on the standard model, and a possible extension of the standard model that can explain the experimental results. This paper is an introduction for anyone interested in this field.
