The Muon g-2 Experiment and CPT/Lorentz-Violation

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

The Muon $g-2$ Experiment now running at Fermilab aims to resolve the current $3.7\sigma$ experiment-theory discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_\mu = (g-2)/2$. Among the possible sources of new physics that could account for a non-zero value for $a_\mu$ are CPT or Lorentz Invariance violations. Previous muon $g-2$ experiments have set the majority of the most stringent limits on Standard-Model Extension CPT and Lorentz violation in the muon sector. These limits are consistent with calculations of the level of Standard-Model Extension effects required to account for the current $a_\mu$ discrepancy. The status and prospects of the Fermilab Muon $g-2$ Experiment measurement of $a_\mu$ and searches for CPT/Lorentz violation will be presented.
