Abstract:

The Brookhaven Muon (g-2) Collaboration has recently measured the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon to a precision of 0.7 ppm. The Standard Model prediction for this quantity can be calculated with a similar uncertainty. Comparison of the theoretical and experimental values tests the Standard Model and probes for physics beyond it. In this talk, I will describe the principle of the experiment and the status of the theoretical evaluations. However, I will concentrate on the details of the analysis of the recently published data from our year 2000 run.
