Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Lee Roberts (Boston University)

Title:     Muon (g-2) and other dipole interactions:  Looking to the future

Abstract: The magnetic dipole interaction played a central role in the development of QED, and continued that role in leading to the standard model. The muon anomalous magnetic moment has served as a benchmark for models of new physics.  With new results from BaBar, the confrontation between theory and experiment is now at the 3.2 sigma level, when e+e- data are used to determine the hadronic piece of the standard-model contribution. I will first give an overview of the searches for new physics through dipole interactions, review the standard-model value for the muon anomaly, and then describe the new (g-2) experiment that is proposed for Fermilab.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
